Subject: [PATCH net] ipv6:export nd_tbl

A customer wants to use nd_tbl in his kernel module,
the easiest way is to export nd_tbl, just as arp_tbl.

There were some requests to export nd_tbl, like:
http://marc.info/?l=netfilter-devel&m=111416950824614&w=2
http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=110715893206991&w=2

But they were all rejected.
I want to know the reason why can't nd_tbl be exported just as arp_tbl,
and how can we look up nd_tbl without exporting it.

thanks
Weiping Pan
