Subject: [RFC PATCH net-next v2 0/1] Add support of ECMPv6

Here is a proposal to add the support of ECMPv6. The previous patch
from Vincent against iproute2 can be used, but a little other patch is needed
too, see http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/183277/

If the kernel patch is approved, I will submit formally the patch for
iproute2.

Here is an example of a command to add an ECMP route:
$ ip -6 route add 3ffe:304:124:2306::/64 \
	nexthop via fe80::230:1bff:feb4:e05c dev eth0 weight 1 \
	nexthop via fe80::230:1bff:feb4:dd4f dev eth0 weight 1

v2: rename CONFIG_IPV6_MULTIPATH_ROUTE to CONFIG_IPV6_MULTIPATH_HASH
    use flowlabel in the hash function
    add reference to RFC
    fix a small identation issue
    remove "If unsure, say N." from the help of CONFIG_IPV6_MULTIPATH

Comments are welcome.

Regards,
Nicolas
