These new entries should be in the reverse order to
avoid having a padding hole in 64-bit systems.

There are a _lot_ of #ifdef CONFIG_IPV6_MULTIPATH blocks.

It might be better to add a few static line functions
in a header file like:

#ifdef CONFIG_IPV6_MULTIPATH
static inline int ipv6_get_multipath_siblings(const struct rt6_info *rt)
{
	return rt->rt6i_nsiblings;
}
#else
static inline int ipv6_get_multipath_siblings(const struct rt6_info *rt)
{
	return 0;
}
#endif

and remove most of the #ifdef blocks.
