Multiple routing table is not supported yet, it probably will be added in
the next release cycle, if I or others could find enough time.  Netgraph is
under BGL, which means it is bad for performance.  ipfw is lockless MPSAFE,
pf is still under one token (which also causes performance issue).  Basic
BIRD functionality should just work (no policy routing, since it requires
multiple routing table support).
