At the moment it is  :)

I was just making a point about the IMHO flawed semantics of
CONFIG_IPV6_SUBTREES.

If you keep the original (first dest, then src) key ordering you
basically can't use the subtrees for anything else but storing source
address specific host routes.

With the reversed order you can do a lot more...
