Another way would be to extend the command line interface code in order
to provide the feature, i.e. have something like the following on the MR:

$ telnet localhost 7777
mip6d> mnp get
mnpA mnpB
mip6d> mnp set mnpB mnpC mnpD

Which would trigger the emission of a BU to the HA to update MNPs.

I don't have time to do that now but if you have the time to look at it,
patches are welcome.
