[RFC 00/12] 6lowpan: introduce 6lowpan-nd

[Alexander Aring <aar-bIcnvbaLZ9MEGnE8C9+IrQ@public.gmane.org>]

Hi,

this patch series introduces the ndisc ops callback structure to add different
handling for IPv6 neighbour discovery cache functionality. It implements at first
the two following use-cases:

 - 6CO handling as userspace option (For all 6LoWPAN layers, BTLE/802.15.4) [0]
 - short address handling for 802.15.4 6LoWPAN only [1]

Since my last patch series, I completely changed the whole ndisc_ops callback
structure to not replace the whole ndisc functionality at recv/send level of
NS/NA/RS/RA which I send in my previous patch-series "6lowpan: introduce basic
6lowpan-nd". I changed it now to add different handling in a very low-level way
of ndisc functionality.

The ndisc_ops don't must be registered to dev->ndisc_ops anymore, if they are not
set, then no additional ipv6 ndisc handling will be done.

This patch series now introduce a complete handling of short address for
802.15.4 6LoWPAN in case of send/recv of NA/NS/RS and RA. In case of RA
(receive only) and PIO we also need a second prefix + short-address based
address.

This callback structure can be used later (I hope) for RFC 6775 [0]. This RFC
defines some new option fields and messages for 6LoWPAN-ND. This patch series
does not implement RFC 6775 (except we decide now to handle 6CO in userspace).

Additional we can use the current ops for parse/fill ndisc options for kernel
handled ndisc messages to add 6CIO, see [2].

I tested RA/NS/NA/RS messages with short address which seems to work, what I
didn't test is the redirect messages since I don't know how to generate them.
The short address for redirect messages are also some special case here, because
the short address by a L3 target address need to be added.

btw:
According to [3] sending redirect messages should be also disabled by default
on 6lowpan interfaces, but can be activated afterwards. This is maybe
something for the ipv6_devconf structure. There is a "accept_redirects" but
no "disable_redirects".

changes since "PATCHv2 6lowpan: introduce basic 6lowpan-nd":
 - change EXPORT_SYMBOL to EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL
 - rework ndisc_ops to be very low-level (not replacing
   full ndisc handling) and add full short address handling
   now.
 - added comments for ndisc_ops.
 - make ndisc_opt_addr_space, ndisc_opt_addr_data and
   ndisc_fill_addr_option completely independent from
   net_device dev argument. Instead add ndisc_dev helpers
   for do it for the normal case.
 - remove lowpan_neigh and add a 802.15.4 6lowpan private data
   for now only.
 - remove empty ndisc_ops inline functions
 - add tmp debugfs UAPI to get 6lowpan short address, necessary
   for e.g. radvd to put short address as sllao in RA.
