Attached patch seems to work on FreeBSD.
For OpenBSD rtsock events seems to be the same (and interface renaming
is not supported there at all).
I don't have any NetBSD instance to test on, unfortunately

appropriate protocols. In OSPF, for example, it is a bit tricky due to
the fact that interface can belong to several areas
