This fixes a problem spotted with zebra, but not sure if it is necessary a kernel problem. With IPV6 when an address is added to an interface, Zebra creates a duplicate RIB entry, one as a connected route, and other as a kernel route. When an address is added to an interface the RTN_NEWADDR message causes Zebra to create a connected route. In IPV4 when an address is added to an interface a RTN_NEWROUTE message is set to user space with the protocol RTPROT_KERNEL. Zebra ignores these messages, because it already has the connected route. The problem is that route created in IPV6 has route protocol == RTPROT_BOOT. Was this a design decision or a bug? This fixes it. Same patch applies to both net-2.6 and stable.
