It is dead code, as-is, in the kernel.  It would require patches to
actually work at all.

It is impossible that fastrouting is being actively used, without patches.

I totally agree.  And people can always resurrect it from the
repository history or an old tarball if they wish.

Patches are needed for the driver to use that code. So its not entirely
dead code i.e it is referenced from fastroute enabled drivers.
Sample (really old) code found at:
http://ftp.iasi.roedu.net/mirrors/ftp.inr.ac.ru/ip-routing/fastroute/

 

I think it should be killed entirely, and that's what I'm going
to do.

Nod from here. 
Before you kill it lets hear from Ralf who is acquinted with someone
that uses it and sings praises of it (although i personaly dont believe
it ;->).

cheers,
