 	Hello,

 	Yes, as ip_route_output_slow uses __ip_dev_find for
fl4_src there should be some kind of fallback to local table,
so that traffic from 127.0.0.2 to 127.0.0.3 or other local
subnets on loopback can work. Another option is to use
inet_addr_onlink but I suspect people can add many addresses
on loopback: inet_addr_onlink(loopback_indev, addr, 0)
