Does this abstract enough to be worth it? Where is it intended to be used?

I think our usual pattern for this sort of thing is to pass int flags, and do malloc(size, type, M_ZERO | flags).

Also, I'm sure you meant (waitok ? M_WAITOK : 0) here.

I have a larger diff that allows netlink to update interface properties, such as description. Given we already have if_freedescr(), I moved towards the if_allocdescr() instead of exposing M_IFDESCR.
