This results in rtadvd sending RAs with "managed, other" flags, while
the "pinfoflags" without a corresponding prefix ("addr") results in the
default behavior: The explicit "pinfoflags" entry is ignored, interface
prefix is taken from the kernel routing table and announced as a prefix
info option with onlink and auto flags.
