o Introduced rte_cow() which should be used for copying on write the
rte's in filters. Each rte now carries a flag saying whether it's
a real route (possessing table linkage and other insignia) or a local
copy. This function can be expected to be fast since its fast-path
is inlined.
o Introduced rte_update_pool which is a linear memory pool used for
all temporary data during rte_update. You should not reference it directly
-- instead use a pool pointer passed to all related functions.
o Split rte_update to three functions:
rte_update The front end: handles all checking, inbound
filtering and calls rte_recalculate() for the
final version of the route.
rte_recalculate Update the table according to already filtered route.
rte_announce Announce routing table changes to all protocols,
passing them through export filters and so on.
The interface has _not_ changed -- still call rte_update() and it will
do the rest for you automagically.
o Use new filtering semantics to be explained in a separate mail.

o Now compatible with filtering.
o Learning of kernel routes supported only on CONFIG_SELF_CONSCIOUS
systems (on the others it's impossible to get it semantically correct).
o Learning now stores all of its routes in a separate fib and selects
the ones the kernel really uses for forwarding packets.
o Better treatment of CONFIG_AUTO_ROUTES ports.
o Lots of internal changes.

nodes having no routes attached. Such cleanup must be done from event handler
since most functions manipulating the routing tables expect network entries
won't disappear from under their hands and it's also probably faster when
done asynchronously.

o rte can now contain a pointer to both cached and uncached rta. Protocols
which don't need their own attribute caching can now just fill-in a rta,
link it to rte without any calls to attribute cache and call rte_update()
which will replace rte->attrs by a cached copy.
o In order to support this, one of previously pad bytes in struct rta
now holds new attribute flags (RTAF_CACHED). If you call rte_update()
with uncached rta, you _must_ clear these flags. In other cases rta_lookup()
sets it appropriately.
o Added rte_free() which is useful when you construct a rte and then the
circumstances change and you decide not to use it for an update. (Needed
for temporary rte's in kernel syncer...)

rte_discard and rte_dump don't need net * as parameter.

RIP should maintain its own per-protocol queue of existing routes, scan it
periodically and call rte_discard() for routes that have timed out.
