net/if_inet6.h includes linux/ipv6.h which also tries to include
net/if_inet6.h.  Since the latter only needs it for forward
declarations, we can fix this by adding the declarations.

A number of files are implicitly including net/if_inet6.h through
linux/ipv6.h.  They also use net/ipv6.h so this patch includes
net/if_inet6.h there.

<title>[XFRM]: Allow packet drops during larval state resolution.</title>

<content type='text'>
The current IPSEC rule resolution behavior we have does not work for a
lot of people, even though technically it's an improvement from the
-EAGAIN buisness we had before.

Right now we'll block until the key manager resolves the route.  That
works for simple cases, but many folks would rather packets get
silently dropped until the key manager resolves the IPSEC rules.

We can't tell these folks to "set the socket non-blocking" because
they don't have control over the non-block setting of things like the
sockets used to resolve DNS deep inside of the resolver libraries in
libc.

With that in mind I coded up the patch below with some help from
Herbert Xu which provides packet-drop behavior during larval state
resolution, controllable via sysctl and off by default.

This lays the framework to either:

1) Make this default at some point or...

2) Move this logic into xfrm{4,6}_policy.c and implement the
   ARP-like resolution queue we've all been dreaming of.
   The idea would be to queue packets to the policy, then
   once the larval state is resolved by the key manager we
   re-resolve the route and push the packets out.  The
   packets would timeout if the rule didn't get resolved
   in a certain amount of time.

1) struct ip6_flowlabel : moves 'users' field to avoid two 32bits
   holes for 64bit arches. Shrinks by 8 bytes sizeof(struct
   ip6_flowlabel)

2) ipv6_addr_cmp() and ipv6_addr_copy() dont need (void *) casts :
   Compiler might take into account natural alignement of in6_addr
   structs to emit better code for memcpy()/memcmp() Casts to (void *)
   force byte accesses.

3) ipv6_addr_prefix() optimization :

Better to clear whole struct, as compiler can emit better code for
memset(addr, 0, 16) (2 stores on x86_64), and avoid some conditional
branches.

# size vmlinux.after vmlinux.before
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
5262262  647612  557432 6467306  62aeea vmlinux.after
5262550  647612  557432 6467594  62b00a vmlinux.before

thats 288 bytes saved.

This patch moves the non-proc SNMP code into addrconf.c and reuses
IPv4 SNMP code where applicable.

As a result we can skip proc.o if /proc is disabled.

Note that I've made a number of functions static since they're only
used by addrconf.c for now.  If they ever get used elsewhere we can
always remove the static.
