Thanks to the fact that I let a change causing known regressions live
in the tree for almost a year (don't worry I've learned my lesson):

Subject: [PATCH] IPv6: keep permanent addresses on admin down
We have over a year of follow-up changes to revert if we want to
get rid of this turd.
This means getting rid of all the changes that tried to fix bugs in
the new ipv6 semantics made by Lorenzo Colitti, and the hlist
conversions, and all changes dependent upon those.
But no matter, this has to be done and I don't care if we lost lots
of cleanups and other work as a result of doing this, it just has to
be done.
And this is _why_ we must revert changes causing known regressions
as soon as they are discovered, not months or a year later. Because
after that much time, undoing the damage becomes that much harder.
So if you folks wonder what I'm working on the next couple of days,
this is it.

I'm going to do one commit, with the list of commits I'm reverting
in the commit message so people can go back and go through the
history.
