        include/linux/rtnetlink.h already contains the needed RTPROT_xxx
definitions. The most used daemons don't use RTPROT_STATIC. The kernel
does not know that the daemon registers static routes, they all
have its own RTPROT_value. The static routes are marked as such only
in the daemon's config file. May be it is possible value RTPROT_STATIC
to be marked in comments as a kernel property.
