A notifier is used to track route changes in the kernel. If a change is made to a route that is offloaded to fw then an update is sent to the NIC. The driver tracks all routes that are offloaded to determine if a kernel change is of interest. Extend the notifier to track IPv6 route changes and create a new list that stores offloaded IPv6 routes. Modify the IPv4 route helper functions to accept varying address lengths. This way, the same core functions can be used to handle IPv4 and IPv6.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
