In fact, This is very similar to what I did initially in v1. And I was
creating a sphinx extension to handle the generation, have a look here:

During the review, we agree to move out of the sphinx extension.
the reasons are the stubs/templates that needs to be created and you are
creating here.

So, if we decide to come back to sphinx extension, we can leverage that
code from v1 ?!

You probably don't need the last , before ).

Other than that, LGTM.

The question is, are we OK with the templates that need to be created
for netlink specs?! 

Thanks for looking at it,
