Subject: Re: [PATCH] net: Keep interface binding when sending packets with 
	ipi_ifindex = 0

After thinking more deeply, I believe that IPv6 does the right thing
and IPv4 does not. SO_BINDTODEVICE requires CAP_NET_RAW, so it is a
privileged operation. Therefore, it looks weird to me if one can
specify other interface than the bound one without the same
capability. The following patch makes the behavior in IPv4 and IPv6
identical. Thanks for your help.
