No need to have two empty lines here, one is sufficient.

This overrides unconditionally, and in all cases, the assignment made
in the declaration of the 'olen' variable.  Therefore the variable
declaration should not have an initializer.  Please remove it.

It's a real shame that we can't reuse ndisc_opt_addr_space(),
ndisc_parse_options(), etc. for this stuff.

I guess this is what the variable declaration assignment was
meant to be used for.

This is also ndisc_opt_addr_space(dev).

This is perhaps more clearly expressed as "opt >> 3".

Note that the ipv6 stack input path checks to make sure that the
msg->target is not multicast.  Just something I noticed.
