Subject: [PATCH] changes required to flush all routing table entries in side kernel

Problem :   Need to clean up routing table entries in side the Linux
 kernel. But  kernel is not providing  single command to clear all
 routing table entries at once.

 Modified the kernel to take of the changes    Defined new  net link
 message under  NETLINK_ROUTE   family  RTM_FLUSHROUTE.   At the
 receiving end in side kernel,  removed all routing table entries
 related with each device.

      Changed the code so that only the corresponding device reference
 will be incremented and perform the flush of entries related to that
 device and reduce the reference count.   In side fib_sync_flush(This
 function is same as fib_sync_down, except  that checking for protocol)
 ,  checking whether the route entry is installed by protocol,  and
 marking them only as dead.


 These are the changes . (version  2.6.14.2 linux kernel)

 This fib_sync_flush is same as fib_sync_down, except  for each entry
 it compares the protocol type of the routing entry  to be  removed.
