Be careful. rtm_use isn't unused - it is used sysctl_dumpentry()
to return the usage of route to userland. However, I don't see
programs netstat(1) and route(1) to read it. Anyway, I think
it deserves a comment.

Please explain how is this done. Does radix allow presence of two
identical prefixes in tree, and we distinguish them by rt->rt_flags?
