Now that all protocols have been made aware of the mark
field it can be moved out of the union thus simplyfing
its usage.
The config options in the IPv4/IPv6/DECnet subsystems
to enable respectively disable mark based routing only
obfuscate the code with ifdefs, the cost for the
additional comparison in the flow key is insignificant,
and most distributions have all these options enabled
by default anyway. Therefore it makes sense to remove
the config options and enable mark based routing by
default.

nfmark is being used in various subsystems and has become

it makes sense to rename it to `mark' and remove the
dependency on CONFIG_NETFILTER.

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

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).
