There are quite a number of places that use patterns
such as

  if (attr)
     val = nla_get_u16(attr);
  else
     val = DEFAULT;

Add nla_get_u16_default() and friends like that to
not have to type this out all the time.

I obviously messed that up completely, but you get the point ...

I think this is an excellent idea! So typos/copy-paste errors aside:
