Re: [PATCH] net: ipv6: don't generate link-local address in any addr_gen_mode

This patch provides an ipv6 proc file named
"disable_gen_linklocal_addr", its absolute path is as follows:
"/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/<iface>/disable_gen_linklocal_addr".

When the "disable_gen_linklocal_addr" value of a device is 1,
it means that this device does not need the Linux kernel to
automatically generate the ipv6 link-local address no matter
which IN6_ADDR_GEN_MODE is used.

doesn't this duplicate addr_gen_mode == 1 == IN6_ADDR_GEN_MODE_NONE?
