Actually I believe calling

        nla_for_each_nested(attr, tb[IFLA_VF_PORTS], ...)
        }

is even better than calling nla_for_each_attr directly.
(You can check how Scott coded the kernel function do_setlink
in his recent kernel patch "Add netlink support for virtual port"
for a similar example)
