Eugene Yakubovich 16680be42d No more path rewriting
Path rewriting causes too many problems when vendoring
vendored code. When CNI code is vendored into rkt,
godep has problems code already vendored by CNI.

// Package netlink provides a simple library for netlink. Netlink is
// the interface a user-space program in linux uses to communicate with
// the kernel. It can be used to add and remove interfaces, set up ip
// addresses and routes, and confiugre ipsec. Netlink communication
// requires elevated privileges, so in most cases this code needs to
// be run as root. The low level primitives for netlink are contained
// in the nl subpackage. This package attempts to provide a high-level
// interface that is loosly modeled on the iproute2 cli.
