Regarding your answer;  I accept it and I will soon send a revised
version of this patch (making changes to
 arp_netdev_event() and ndisc_netdev_event().)
I had  IPv4 in mind, there is no reason that it will no be also in IPv6.
You should iterate all of ifa_list (for IPv4) / addr_list (for IPv6).
For IPv6, we also have anycast (maintained by ac_list) as well.
Hrm, how is this going to work for the case of multiple MACs on a
device? 
Changing one MAC address doesnt equate to issuing a grat arp with _the
new MAC_ for all ifa (given each MAC may be map to a different ifa) 
If the secondary MACs are used with ARP/NDP, we should take care of
that, but I think we use the primary MAC for ARP/NDP, no?
(In other words, we always use primary MAC for ARP reply / NA, no?)
