I thought about that, sure but come to the conclusion that the code
cleanup outweigh an potential user somewhere in space (well, the use
case is broken and should be fixed). Additionally, I left the
RTAX_FEATURE_ALLFRAG (as mentioned) and removed all related
functionality - no visible API change (except no-op behavior).

Davem, I will sent the patch anyway. Feel free to accept/ignore.
