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.

o Nothing is configured automatically. You _need_ to specify
the kernel syncer in config file in order to get it started.
o Syncing has been split to route syncer (protocol "Kernel") and
interface syncer (protocol "Device"), device routes are generated
by protocol "Direct" (now can exist in multiple instances, so that
it will be possible to feed different device routes to different
routing tables once multiple tables get supported).
See doc/bird.conf.example for a living example of these shiny features.

(via Netlink). Tweaked kernel synchronization rules a bit. Discovered
locking bug in kernel Netlink :-)
Future plans: Hunt all the bugs and solve all the FIXME's.

The new kernel syncer is cleanly split between generic UNIX module
and OS dependent submodules:
- krt.c (the generic part)
- krt-iface (low-level functions for interface handling)
- krt-scan (low-level functions for routing table scanning)
- krt-set (low-level functions for setting of kernel routes)
krt-set and krt-iface are common for all BSD-like Unices, krt-scan is heavily
system dependent (most Unices require /dev/kmem parsing, Linux uses /proc),
Netlink substitues all three modules.
We expect each UNIX port supports kernel routing table scanning, kernel
interface table scanning, kernel route manipulation and possibly also
asynchronous event notifications (new route, interface state change;
not implemented yet) and build the KRT protocol on the top of these
primitive operations.

is not defined. Also moved declarations of Unix iface logic to krt.h.

routes) from kernel routing tables unless the "persist" switch is set.

o Interface syncing is now a part of krt and it can have configurable
parameters. Actually, the only one is scan rate now :)
o Kernel routing table syncing is now synchronized with interface
syncing (we need the most recent version of the interface list
to prevent lots of routes to non-existent destinations from
appearing). Instead of its own timer, we just check if it's
route scan time after each iface list scan.
o Syncing of device routes implemented.
o CONFIG_AUTO_ROUTES should control syncing of automatic device routes.
o Rewrote krt_remove_route() to really remove routes :)
o Better diagnostics.
o Fixed a couple of bugs.

and does things "the right way". Few things are still missing (device
routes etc.), I'll add them later in the evening.

fib->pad0,pad1 renamed to x0,x1 and in case of struct net x0 is reserved
for kernel syncing as well.

options, but at least basic tuning is possible now.

the kernel routing table as opposed to modifying it which is approximately
the same on non-netlink systems, I've split the kernel routing table
routines to read and write parts. To be implemented later ;-)
