How are you running this test? At least with veth pairs it is passing
both before and after the patches. I didn't look into the veth driver,
it might not even use the listified path.

Also, I'm seeing the following errors during the test:

sysctl: setting key "net.ipv4.fib_multipath_hash_policy": Invalid argument
sysctl: setting key "net.ipv6.fib_multipath_hash_policy": Invalid argument
