[PATCH 2/2] ipv6: addrconf: clean up device type handling

From: David Lamparter <hidden>
Date: 2014-07-31 20:54:30
Subsystem: networking [general], networking [ipv4/ipv6], the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, David Ahern, Ido Schimmel, Linus Torvalds

This realigns addrconf support for the various lower-layer device types,
and removes a little bit of duplicate code.  Behaviour should be exactly
identical before and after the patch.

(Also adds a comment to explain the weird fe80::/64 on GRE.)
