The system has long since been dismantled, so I'm not sure what version
of mip6d I used.  Yes, icmpv6_rcv() does check for checksum errors, it
would be good to print-out three addresses to see which one is which,
in case they weren't swapped correctly or something.  It would be good
to know what value skb->ip_summed was too, as a start.

I had no failures, but 5 warnings (2-1-6, 2-3-11, 4-7-1, 5-4-2, and
6-3-1).  I'll see if I can get a CN test run done on my current
config.
