This patch add the definition of ARPHRD_PUREIP which can for
example be used by mobile ccmni device as device type.
ARPHRD_PUREIP means that this device doesn't need kernel to
generate ipv6 link-local address in any addr_gen_mode.

In looking at the patches, what differs "PUREIP" from "RAWIP"?  It seems
to be the same to me.  If they are different, where is that documented?

thanks,
