A quick look at the code says you cannot turn off the automatic creation. net/ipv4/fib_frontend.c, fib_add_ifaddr always defines a route to the interface address, broadcast address and prefix, as does the ipv6 equivalent code. Ask the net developers to add a backwards compatibility sysctl option and see how far you can get. Could I suggest that this discussion be taken to linux-net instead of linux-kernel.
