Hello,

these commands are valid:
ip -6 route del default from 2001:470:5093::/56 table babel_export
ip -6 route add default via 2001:470:5093::1 table babel_export from
2001:470:5093::1/56

The result of (the later one :-) ) - is an entry like:
default from 2001:470:5093::/56 via 2001:470:5093::1 dev bat0  metric 1024

Which used for source specific routing. However, these options are
neither shown using "ip -6 route add help" nor listed in ip's manpage.

Please add some documentation.

Thanks,
yanosz
