Subject: [RFC][PATCH] Removal of FASTROUTE definition include/linux/if_packet.h

Hi,
It seems that PACKET_FASTROUTE definition should be removed due to that
fastroute is no longer supported.

Regards,
Rami Rosen

It's a value exported to userland, so removing it could
break application compilation, so we can't remove it.
