Sorry, I meant the direct protocol. I didn't even realise you
could export from the device protocol.

However, this doesn't pick up situations where the interface
itself is unnumbered, with just a static route pointing out of
it (for /32 numbering), which is my issue. The static route
is inserted by a separate call to "ip route" (by me), and
looks like this:
  ip route add 4.4.4.4/32 proto SOMEPROTO nexthop dev evrr-000001

Even though it has a "dev" next-hop, it isn't a device route
in bird terms, and only the kernel (bird) protocol sees it, as far as
I can tell.
