Maybe kernel/netlink/connector/. Connector is an abstraction on top of 
netlink with a slightly
different interface than pure netlink (eg. cn_msg instead of nlmsghdr).
There are only very few other modules, that use this interface at the 
moment (MS HyperV, MD,  uvesafb  and dallas' 1-wire).

The question is: Is the interface the correct think to categorize by? If 
the interface (i.e. netlink) is used for categorization, then some of 
the crypto tests should also be in this netlink category.
