This part of the patch is fine.

As I wrote in PM yesterday, I think it's incorrect to get the IF metric
from the routing entry.  It's the other way around according to the
doc excerpt which you did friendly send to me.  So, I actually would like
to ask you to take this part out.  As soon as you send the tweaked patch,
I'll check it in.

Thanks,
