	Just a small note for now:

	The code
	'if (dev_out == NULL && !(oldflp->flags & FLOWI_FLAG_TRANSPARENT))'
can lead to problem in 'fl.oif = dev_out->ifindex;' if fl4_src is not
present.

	Also, i'm not sure if FLOWI_FLAG_TRANSPARENT should cause
different values for flags to be cached many times. Users without this
flag get EINVAL when fl4_src is not configured, other failures are not 
cached too. And as fl4_src is considered in both cases (both kinds of 
callers get same path on success) we don't need changes except in 
ip_route_output_slow()? By this way I hope we can avoid any possible 
forking of cache entries just by different flags.

	Then we can use some more generic name, only for the flowi flag,
eg. FLOWI_FLAG_ANYSRC or something better?
