BMF uses ioctl to add a single route to 224.0.0.0 (all multicast addresses) via
the "bmf0" interface to the kernel routing table.

What do you mean exactly with your question "Something special not covered. .
?" If you're suggesting that BMF should use the olsr_ioctl_add_route function,
I'm not sure if that is possible: the 'struct rt_entry *destination' parameter
of that function seems to need a lot more information than BMF can supply.
