Why do you need to do that from the kernel ? Same remark for ipv4/6
addresses.
What prevents you to do 'ip route show' and use these informations to
restore the routes later ?
Will we end up by moving all the network userspace tools in the kernel ? :)
If you use the Eric's setns patchset, you will be able to do that easily
from userspace, no ?
