This patch set tries to move towards reducing struct fib_result down
to it's absolute minimum.

The eventual idea is to make it so that fib_lookup() simply
returns a "struct fib_nh *" and pointer encoded errnos, instead
of writing into a complicated structure as the return value on
the stack as is done now.

I tested these patches most of yesterday and I haven't seen any
issues.  Then again I haven't seen much of an improvement either.

Thanks for testing.

I'm putting this patch set to the side until I can find a way
to get past the tclassid barrier and also make it show some
difference performance wise.
