IMHO an enum would be nice for those.

This line is over clearly over 80 characters.

Maybe if we factor out these tests to the caller we can give this function a
better name and don't need to pass ifa_flags?

For me it is easier to folow code like

	if ((foo & blah) || !(foo & blah2))
		do_something();

as when we return special value and pass it into another function.

Same here.

Maybe the onlink == 0 could be a bool then with a proper name (or an enum).

I somehow find this patch a bit hard to follow. Having the tests more
closely at the actions would make it much easier, IMHO.

Haven't seen any logic problems though.

Thanks,
