Subject: [RFC net-next] ipv6: Attempt to improve options code parsing

As per Eric's comment on a previous patchset that was adding a new HopbyHop
option, i.e. why should a new option appear before or after existing ones in the
list, here is an attempt to suppress such competition. It also improves the
efficiency and fasten the process of matching a Hbh or Dst option, which is
probably something we want regarding the list of new options that could quickly
grow in the future.

Basically, the two "lists" of options (Hbh and Dst) are replaced by two arrays.
Each array has a size of 256 (for each code point). Each code point points to a
function to process its specific option.

Thoughts?
