Adding a 2000::/3 route works:
# ip -6 r a 2000::/3 via fe80::230:18ff:feb0:25c2 dev eth0
# ping6 -c 1 2001:4b10:1005:0:205:b4ff:fe12:530

Adding a ::/0 route doesn't work:
# ip -6 r a ::/0 via fe80::230:18ff:feb0:25c2 dev eth0
# ping6 -c 1 2001:4b10:1005:0:205:b4ff:fe12:530
connect: Network is unreachable
A route assigned by addrconf works.
Reverting this patch from 2.6.22-rc3 fixes it:
