ipv4: Loosen source address check on IPv4 output
ip_route_output() contains a check to make sure that no flows with non-local source IP addresses are routed. This obviously makes using such addresses impossible. This patch introduces a flowi flag which makes omitting this check possible. The new flag provides a way of handling transparent and non-transparent connections differently.
