      The MLD v1 compatibility mode checks don't account for the

That makes MLDv1 queries that include extension headers (like
Router Alert) appear to be v2 packets.
      The below patch fixes the problem.
Looks good.  I assume that all extension headers must appear
_before_ the igmp stuff, and therefore no other headers may
appear afterwards.

I'll apply this, thanks.
