Allow transparent sockets to be less restrictive about
the source ip of ipv6 udp packets being sent.

Applied, thanks a lot.

FYI, I don't see this in either git repository:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/davem/net.git;a=shortlog
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next.git;a=shortlog

I'd expect it to have shown up in net-next by now.

I'm also curious whether anyone knows of any good reason why
transparent sockets require CAP_NET_ADMIN instead of CAP_NET_RAW (or
either one of CAP_NET_{RAW|ADMIN}).
