Introduce RTA_TABLE route attribute and FRA_TABLE routing rule attribute
to hold 32 bit routing table IDs. Usespace compatibility is provided by
continuing to accept and send the rtm_table field, but because of its
limited size it can only carry the low 8 bits of the table ID. This
implies that if larger IDs are used, _all_ userspace programs using them
need to use RTA_TABLE.

When I tested Linux kernel 2.6.17.7 about statistics
"ipv6IfStatsInAddrErrors", found that this counter couldn't increase
correctly. The criteria is RFC2465:
ipv6IfStatsInAddrErrors OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX Counter32
MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The number of input datagrams discarded because
the IPv6 address in their IPv6 header's destination
field was not a valid address to be received at
this entity. This count includes invalid
addresses (e.g., ::0) and unsupported addresses
(e.g., addresses with unallocated prefixes). For
entities which are not IPv6 routers and therefore
do not forward datagrams, this counter includes
datagrams discarded because the destination address
was not a local address."
::= { ipv6IfStatsEntry 5 }
When I send packet to host with destination that is ether invalid
address(::0) or unsupported addresses(1::1), the Linux kernel just
discard the packet, and the counter doesn't increase(in the function
ip6_pkt_discard).

locking init cleanups:
- convert " = SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED" to spin_lock_init() or DEFINE_SPINLOCK()
- convert rwlocks in a similar manner
this patch was generated automatically.
Motivation:
- cleanliness
- lockdep needs control of lock initialization, which the open-coded
variants do not give
- it's also useful for -rt and for lock debugging in general

We eliminated rt6_dflt_lock (to protect default router pointer)
at 2.6.17-rc1, and introduced rt6_select() for general router selection.
The function is called in the context of rt6_lock read-lock held,
but this means, we have some race conditions when we do round-robin.

The route expiration time is stored in rt6i_expires in jiffies.
The argument of rt6_route_add() for adding a route is not the
expiration time in jiffies nor in clock_t, but the lifetime
(or time left before expiration) in clock_t.
Because of the confusion, we sometimes saw several strange errors

I find that linux will reply echo request destined to an address which
belongs to an interface other than the one from which the request received.
This behavior doesn't make sense for link local address.
YOSHIFUJI Hideaki <yoshfuji@linux-ipv6.org> said:
Please note that sender does need to setup neighbor entry by hand to reproduce
this bug. (Link-local address on eth1 is not visible on eth0, from the point
of view of neighbor discovery in IPv6.)

Essentially netlink at the moment always reports a pid and sequence of 0
always for v6 route activities.
To understand the repurcassions of this look at:
http://lists.quagga.net/pipermail/quagga-dev/2005-June/003507.html
While fixing this, i took the liberty to resolve the outstanding issue
of IPV6 routes inserted via ioctls to have the correct pids as well.
This patch tries to behave as close as possible to the v4 routes i.e
maintains whatever PID the socket issuing the command owns as opposed to
the process. That made the patch a little bulky.
I have tested against both netlink derived utility to add/del routes as
well as ioctl derived one. The Quagga folks have tested against quagga.
This fixes the problem and so far hasnt been detected to introduce any
new issues.
