Hi Amerigo,

As IPv6 becomes popular, more and more subsystems begin to support IPv6,
therefore we need a generic IP address type, in case of duplicates.
Also we will also need some helpers to compare, print, check the generic
IP address.

This patchset introduce a new type union inet_addr as a union of IPv4
and IPv6 address, and some helper functions that will be used by existing
code and in the future VXLAN module.

This patchset only does compile test, since it is still RFC.

This patch already does that which I've sent yesterday before yours ...

   [PATCH net-next 1/2] lib: vsprintf: add IPv4/v6 generic %pig/%pIg format specifier

... and resend with the set today in the morning as v2 with provided
feedback applied. Can't you base yours on top of that?

Thanks !
