Ah, I see, missed that.

Given that IPv4 should be converted to flowi4_l3mdev as well (?), what
about:

 * Keep the IPv6 patch in this form, as this allows stable to pick it
   up as-is
 * I'll add a follow-up patch, which converts both to flowi[46]_l3mdev

This would avoid some noise for a separate stable patch, but let me
know what you prefer.

Actually it is used in that "strict" branch, this is why I've added
"dev" as a local variable. I guess that is still needed
with flowi6_l3mdev?

Thanks,
Martin
