[luau] CONFIG_RTNETLINK -- Linux kernel configuration option

[Kevin Goad]

Look under just RTNETLINK, it allows the kernel's routing tables to be
read and altered.  It is used within the kernel to communicate between
various subsystems, though this usage is not documented here, and for
communication with user-space programs. Network routes, ip addresses,
link parameters, neighbour setups, queueing disciplines, traffic classes
and packet classifiers may all be controlled through NETLINK_ROUTE
sockets. It is based on netlink messages, see netlink(7) for more
information.  Verbatim from the manpage.

Hello,

Does anyone have a clue what CONFIG_RTNETLINK is about, or how to find
out?
I couldn't find any Help in make menuconfig or make xconfig, on Red Hat
7.3,
nor in any of its documentation.

Thanks,
  Dennis Ching
