Hello.

In article <18087.57717.495366.413571@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> (at Wed, 25 Jul 2007 19:49:09 -0400), Dave Johnson <djohnson+linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> says:

I would say, it would be better to add IPV6_ADDR_UNICAST as well
for "reserved" addresses unless we have good reason not to do it,
anyway.
