Simon Horman b49240ec7e flush secondary addresses before primary ones
Unless promote_secondaries has been active deleting the primary address of
an interface will automatically delete all the secondary addresses.

In the case where ip flush requests the primary then secondary addresses to
be removed - which is the order the addresses are returned by the kernel -
this will cause an error as by the time the request to remove a secondary
address is made it will be missing as it will have been deleted in the
course of deleting the primary address.

This approach to solving this problem orders requests for the
deletion of secondary addresses before primary ones providing
rtnl_dump_filter_l(), a version of rtnl_dump_filter() that
iterates over a list of filters. And by providing two specialised
filters print_addrinfo_secondary() and print_addrinfo_primary().

rtnl_dump_filter_l() first iterates over all addresses using
print_addrinfo_secondary(), which appends secondary addresses to the
request buffer.  Then again using print_addrinfo_primary() which appends
primary addresses.

This approach should work regardless of it promote_secondaries is
active or not. And regardless of if any primary of secondary addresses
are present or not.

How to compile this.
--------------------
1. Look at start of Makefile and set correct values for:

KERNEL_INCLUDE should point to correct linux kernel include directory.
Default (/usr/src/linux/include) is right as rule.

arpd needs to have the db4 development libraries. For debian
users this is the package with a name like libdb4.x-dev.
DBM_INCLUDE points to the directory with db_185.h which
is the include file used by arpd to get to the old format Berkely
database routines.  Often this is in the db-devel package.

2. make

The makefile will automatically build a file Config which
contains whether or not ATM is available, etc.

3. To make documentation, cd to doc/ directory , then
   look at start of Makefile and set correct values for
   PAGESIZE=a4		, ie: a4 , letter ...	(string)
   PAGESPERPAGE=2	, ie: 1 , 2 ...		(numeric)
   and make there. It assumes, that latex, dvips and psnup
   are in your path.
