Attached is a patch that fixes that and also brings the rt0_hdr struct 
in-line with RFC 3542 by removing the "bitmap" field.

Good catch but please do not change bitmap.

I understand that was more cosmetic since it's a kernel header, but can
you explain it any further?  I couldn't find any other occurences than 
those I fixed.  The user-space version in netinet/ip6.h is even more 
broken and I'm pushing that to the glibc people now too.

First, in general, please do not mix two things.

Second, because we're not ready to migrate.
Please do not do that (pushing it to the glibc people) until we're ready.
We really need to do in consistent way; kernel header / glibc header,
and even with other systems.
