3ffe::/16 is phased out as of June 6, 2006:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3701
Additionally, 3ffe:ffff::/32 was a "documentation prefix" to be used
in documentation examples, and hence never used on actual networks.
Linux is enforcing that with the unreachable route. Unfortunately,
all I can find about this is an old expired IETF draft from 2001:
