Hi,

libnl-nf is currently lacking the ability to send batched NFQUEUE
verdicts.  The batched verdicts have been added to NFQUEUE to reduce
the number of verdict messages being send from user- to kernelspace.

The first patch generalizes nfnl_queue_msg_build_verdict()
by doing the real work in __nfnl_queue_msg_build_verdict().
This will then in the 2nd patch be used to introduce
nfnl_queue_msg_send_verdict_batch().

I specifically have not introduced an extern
nfnl_queue_msg_build_verdict_batch().  Do you think it is necessary?

Please have a look.

Thanks.

 /Holger
