> Fix to allow IPv6 packets originating locally to match rules with the "iff"
> set to "lo".  This allows IPv6 rule matching work the same as it does for
> IPv4.  From the iproute2 man page:
> 
>    iif NAME
> 		  select  the incoming device to match.  If the interface is loop‐
> 		  back, the rule only matches packets originating from this  host.
> 		  This  means that you may create separate routing tables for for‐
> 		  warded and local packets and, hence, completely segregate them.
