Subject: ICMPv6 sockets

Hi all,

Support for IPPROTO_ICMP socket binds was added in commit c319b4d76b9e583a5d88d6bf190e079c4e43213d
which allow for process to send ICMP_ECHO messages (and receive the corresponding ICMP_ECHOREPLY messages)
without any special privileges.

There doesn't appear to be any similar functionality for IPPROTO_ICMPV6.

Would the net maintainers be open to including a patch that adds similar support for ICMPv6?

Thanks,
Jesse
