    netlink: smaller nla_attr_minlen table · 32d84cdc

    Length of a netlink attribute may be u16 but lengths of basic attributes
    are much smaller, so small we can save 16 bytes of .rodata and pocket
    change inside .text.
    
    16-bit is worse on x86-64 than 8-bit because of operand size override prefix.
