Sorry, I don't quite understand. You'd prefer the first or the second
approach mentioned by Thomas?

As far as eg. nl_object_identical() is concerned, I think adding another
attribute there is no problem.

But without different caches the question remains how for example
rtnl_link_get() and rtnl_link_get_by_name() should work without changing
their API?
