Ok, I have made some progress. Again I have two machines, called rtrg,
which I'm working on and rtr2, the one I want to "route" to. So my
/etc/hosts have this in:

2001:4200:7000:15:202:6fff:fe22:9547    rtrg
2001:4200:7000:15:202:6fff:fe41:1927    rtr2

If I add a route (on rtrg) like this, I do not get an error while adding
it:

route add -inet6 rtr2 rtrg  -interface -llinfo

But the first time I use it, the kernel spits out this message:

nd6_storelladdr: sdl_alen == 0

So I had a look and tweaked sys/netinet6/nd6.c:nd6_rtrequest() a little
and now it is working. Now I won't pretend that I have my head around
all the IPv6 routing/ndp intricasies, so I would really like some more
eyes over this.

With this and my FreeBSD/IPv6 port of olsrd I can run multiple wireless
interfaces with the same IPv6 subnet and olsrd can make it all work.

The diff is against RELENG_6
