No, the purpose of the kernel module is to get the
right route entry with required destination and next
hop address which were evaluated at user space.

Maybe my explanation was not exact enough...here I try
again^^!

In Kernel 2.6.8 the criteria to pick a route entry
from several with same destination is destination
address, source address  (source address is here not
important) and the Kernel picks always the first
match. 
But I want to have a route entry which matches with
destination, source and next hop address (it may be
the last entry from all with same destination). Which
next hop address is given from the user space. To do
the matching in my kernel module, it needs all route
entries from the kernel routing table. And this is my
problem: My kernel module cannot retrieve the route
entries from the kernel routing table
