IFA_FLAGS seems to appear in kernel ~3.13 and the kernel requirements
from README state 3.8/3.7 at the moment.

One could let the sd_rtnl_message_append_u32 for IFA_FLAGS fail in patch
2/3, but then user space has to play tricks with IPv6 DHCPv6 routes as
before this patch and needs to re-add the code just removed because of
this nice feature. Oh well...

Cheers,
