My mistake. But anyway there is bug in net/Makefile ;)
Look,

root@valinor:/usr/src/linux# head -4 Makefile
VERSION = 2
PATCHLEVEL = 4
SUBLEVEL = 0
EXTRAVERSION = -test9
root@valinor:/usr/src/linux# grep ^mod-subdirs net/Makefile
mod-subdirs := ipv4/netfilter ipv6/netfilter ipx irda atm

mod-subdirs not include netlink, hence, modules from this dir
(netlink_dev.o) will not compile and install.
So, adding netlink to the end of the list will improve situation.
