Wait a second, this will affect adding fdbs using RTM_NEWNEIGH, won't it?
And let's not bother with lookups if learning is off.
So I imagine we need something like the below instead
(in addition to the sysfs/netlink part of the patch which
look fine):

Hm..  Yes, I missed this.  But this has got me thinking of whether it is 
correct to allow 'creation' of an entry if NTF_USE is set.

Consider, that the current behavior is rather broken in that
if someone sets  NLM_F_CREATE|NLM_F_EXCL and NTF_USE, we will update
the FDB (which is technically wrong since we ignore the exclusivity).
Also, if someone doesn't specify NLM_F_CREATE, we create anyway.

I think that may be I'll fix the above inconsistencies first.
