Subject: question regarding (AF_INET6, SOCK_RAW, IPPROTO_RAW) sockets

Hi,

I've noticed that when using IPv6 raw sockets with IPPROTO_RAW protocol and 
IPV6_PKTINFO set, we are not allow to specify a source address that it is not 
configured in the system. 

Disabling ipv6_chk_addr in datagram_send_ctl for IPv6 raw sockets seems to fix 
our problem. Is this approach the right one?

Thanks,
tavi
