Another thing:  As far as I understand, the current code assumes that
peers will use the same unicast_FIFO for IPv4 unicast as for IPv6
unicast.  This is not necessarily true.  Either firewire-net needs to
maintain two lists of peers (one for IPv4, another for IPv6), or it needs
to maintain two unicast_FIFOs per peer.
