 addresses

Hello.

In article <18087.57717.495366.413571@...s.sw.starentnetworks.com> (at Wed, 25 Jul 2007 19:49:09 -0400), Dave Johnson <djohnson+linux-kernel@...starentnetworks.com> says:

I would say, it would be better to add IPV6_ADDR_UNICAST as well
for "reserved" addresses unless we have good reason not to do it,
anyway.
