One question, how fast is ipv6_dev_get_saddr()? Since the TPROXY target
can execute on a per-packet path (although the socket match should take
care of packets that belong to already-established connections), this
may be performance critical. Is ipv6_dev_get_saddr() something that I
can call so often?
It probably isn't the best thing to be calling on a per-packet basis, it's
mainly called now on a per-connection basis.  I guess if it's really bad
for you we could do something like ipv6_get_lladdr() does for finding
a link-local address, it might be good enough in this case.
