Well...

1. is it okay to have another hook for garbbig prefix list?
   Userspace application can get such information via
   - routing table
   - interface flag

2. is the "managed" flags etc, which is per interface variable, 
   really NEWROUTE information?
   It is NOT L2 thing, but it is per-link information.
   I think it is NEWLINK thing.

What I'm thinking is:

 - fix "ADDRCONF" flag in route information
 - manage / other flags via NEWLINK message
(- No new interface to get prefix itself.)
