Load sharing per packet - RouterOS 6 - linux-2.6.38.2?

I need ip route add equalize (kernel 2.6.26+ ) to use a per-packet method of multiple default routes. Under this scenario (ip route add equalize) each packet entering the router will go out a different route.
it is possible to implement the MikroTik? since the linux-kernel supports this feature...
Thanx

Oficial iproute2 documentation:
http://www.policyrouting.org/iproute2.doc.html
equalize --- allow packet by packet randomization on multipath routes. Without this modifier route will be frozen to one selected nexthop, so that load splitting will occur only on per-flow base. Equalize works only if the appropriate kernel configuration option is chosen or if the kernel is patched.
Oficial patch for 2.4.18 is at

yes, you can use 'nth' matcher and several marked routes for this
