I was looking at getpeername et. al. where we should report the scope
back to the user. A common pattern is:

                        if (ipv6_addr_type(&sin->sin6_addr) & IPV6_ADDR_LINKLOCAL)
                                sin->sin6_scope_id = IP6CB(skb)->iif;

I propose to introduce something like 'bool ipv6_addr_intf_scoped(in6_addr)'
and let it check for ll addresses and interface scoped addresses.
