ipv6 routing in grub2 is broken, we cannot talk to anything outside our local network or anything that doesn't route in our global namespace. This patch fixes this by doing a couple of things 1) Read the router information off of the router advertisement. If we have a router lifetime we need to take the source address and create a route from it. 2) Changes the routing stuff slightly to allow you to specify a gateway _and_ an interface. Since the router advertisements come in on the link local address we need to associate it with the global address on the card. So when we are processing the router advertisement, either use the SLAAC interface we create and add the route to that interface, or loop through the global addresses we currently have on our interface and associate it with one of those addresses. We need to have a special case here for the default route so that it gets used, we do this by setting the masksize to 0 to mean it encompasses all networks. The routing code will automatically select the best route so if there is a closer match we will use that. With this patch I can now talk to ipv6 addresses outside of my local network.
