Clearly I misread the RFC the first time through and the test as it existed is
incorrect.  I'm wondering though if what we need is a way to lookup if we've
received a RA on the interface, and check to see if it has a source link layer
option attached to it.
Yes, we could implement this with a new neigh lookup routine, that allows
keying on device pointer and flags.

So in this case we'd pass the device and NTF_ROUTER.  If the lookup returns
non-NULL then we've seen an RA with SLLAO specified.
Agreed.  If its ok with you I'll start working on that in a few days, once we
get through the holidays here.  

Happy New Year!
Best
