Nice!

Fabien, look at socketutils.c. Functions in the file uses NETLINK_SOCK_DIAG
for getting the end point addresses for TCP, UDP, TCPv6, UDPv6, and UNIX.
I hope you can reuse the code for NETLINK.
In addition a data structure named cache_entry is defined the file.
With extending the data structure I guess you can use the data structure
to store the protocol information for a given fd.
See also the discussion about socket cache feature:
https://www.mail-archive.com/strace-devel%40lists.sourceforge.net/msg04698.html
As Dmitry wrote, you may have to invalidate/update the cache entry.
When I worked on stacktrace feature, I met the same issue.
To print stacktrace, mmap and other system calls, which change the
the memory mapping of a process, must be tracked to know when
strace should invalidates the mmap cache.
For the purpose I introduced
#define STACKTRACE_INVALIDATE_CACHE 0400 /* Trigger proc/maps cache updating
*/
in defs.h. This marker is put on system calls.
