0000031: remove src/linux/kernel_routes_ioctl.c, it is ancient and no longer used

Description

thx for the reminder,..
but my patch never was a build break, as it already did not compile
without -D LINUX_NETLINK_ROUTING

but i/we should really either remove kernel_routes_ioctl.c or fix it.
(could push a fix, but will NOT do so,..)
but i still think removing it makes more sense.

I agree.
2.4 is _completely_ ancient and not worth the effort to maintain.

Kernel 2.4 does have netlink support for routing I think.

See http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdl7_rtnetlink.htm [^]

VERSIONS
rtnetlink is a new feature of Linux 2.2.

ok.
It's just that last time I worked on 2.4, there was no netlink for iptables.
That's why I said 2.4.
2.0 is even more ancient.
Go ahead and remove it :-)
