[PATCH net-next-2.6 1/3] ipv6: Send unsolicited neighbour advertismements when notified

[Ben Hutchings]

The NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEERS notifier is a request to send such
advertisements following migration to a different physical link,
e.g. virtual machine migration.

This seems to work and should match what the bonding driver was
previously doing on failover, except that it iterates over all
addresses.  I don't know whether it's actually right though.

Ben.
