   What is the goal of the XRESOLVE mechanism. Is it to allow code in the
kernel to inform a userland daemon that a routing lookup was performed
and it failed, or is it to allow code in the kernel to have a userland
daemon resolve a route for it?

  If it is the second, how does the userland daemon get an answer back
to the kernel, considering that the userland daemon may need to do some
network communication to get an answer?

  Thanks
