RTF_PRCLONING is set automatically by the protocol to cause host
routes to be generated on every unique lookup.

RTF_CLONING is set when the route is added (either manually, or
automatically for interface routes) to indicate that a more specific
route (possibly a host route) needs to be generated on every unique
lookup.

RTF_XRESOLVE is set when the target of the newly cloned route is not
known by the kernel and must be set up by a user process.  I'm not
sure if anything ever used this, although I guess it could be used to
implement ISIS.
