====================
Add support for externally validated neighbor entries

Patch #1 adds a new neighbor flag ("extern_valid") that prevents the
kernel from invalidating or removing a neighbor entry, while allowing
the kernel to notify user space when the entry becomes reachable. See
motivation and implementation details in the commit message.

Patch #2 adds a selftest.
