I think David would just tell you to be patient, your patch is listed in
patchwork, http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/netdev/list/ , and git.kernel.org
is still down...

I don't know if you want this under an #ifdef, since that could fail a module
load on certain kernel builds - people might want to put the same entry in a
conf file whether the kernel supports it or not (if it's accepted).
And you failed to update Documentation/networking/ipv6.txt
