I must be missing something here. Why do you need to tell it the IP
address in order to perform software routing? All the switch needs to
know is the MAC address. Any packets for that MAC address should be
trapped to the host. The host can then decide what to do with it,
router, bridge, or consume it itself.

This should just work already. If it does not, you have something
wrong in your current support.
