Diferent functions are used. route(8) uses inet_makenetandmask() to
create a sockaddr for IPv4 prefix length and uses prefixlen() for IPv6
prefix length. "/0" results:
IPv4
{ .len = 1, .family = 0, ... }
IPv6
{ .len = 2, .family = AF_INET6, ... }
Next, route(8) uses mask_addr() to trim the tailing zeros.
1129 void
1130 mask_addr(union sockunion *addr, union sockunion *mask, int which)
1131 {
1132 int olen = mask->sa.sa_len;
1133 char *cp1 = olen + (char *)mask, *cp2;
1134
1135 for (mask->sa.sa_len = 0; cp1 > (char *)mask; )
1136 if (*--cp1 != '\0') {
1137 mask->sa.sa_len = 1 + cp1 - (char *)mask;
1138 break;
1139 }
See #1135 carefully. As the results, the sockaddrs become:
IPv4
{ .len = 0, .family = 0, ... }
IPv6
{ .len = 2, .family = AF_INET6, ... }
Yes, we can fix IPv6 case to have .len = 0 as well.
But I thought kernel should accept both cases, since the
representation for IPv6 didn't seem so bad for me.

I have missed rtable_satoplen() is used by other functions.
