/*
* When the link-layer address of a router changes, select the
* best router again. In particular, when the neighbor entry is newly
* created, it might affect the selection policy.
* Question: can we restrict the first condition to the "is_newentry"
* case?
* XXX: when we hear an RA from a new router with the link-layer
* address option, defrouter_select() is called twice, since
* defrtrlist_update called the function as well. However, I believe
* we can compromise the overhead, since it only happens the first
* time.
* XXX: although defrouter_select() should not have a bad effect
* for those are not autoconfigured hosts, we explicitly avoid such
* cases for safety.
