Make sure rt6i_gateway contains nexthop information in
all routes returned from lookup or when routes are directly
attached to skb for generated ICMP packets.

The effect of this patch should be a faster version of
rt6_nexthop() and the consideration of local addresses as
nexthop.

Hm, looks good. Will test is soon.

One small remark:

Maybe we can kill rt6_nexthop completly and use rt6i_gateway directly so a
reader does not have to lookup this function.

Thanks,

  Hannes

The patch is fine. I don't mind if we leave it as is or remove rt6_nexthop,
so:

	Thanks for the review! I don't mind too about
removing rt6_nexthop. For me it is 51% against 49% to keep it
as it denotes the places that use nexthop and not gateway.
May be more opinions will help to decide because I don't know
if there are any plans to use similar techniques as done for IPv4.

Regards

I have no strong opinion about removing rt6_nexthop.

If it is of low cost today and makes the code easier to
undersand and grep, just leave it alone.
