Commit 6fd99094de2b ("ipv6: Don't reduce hop limit for an interface")
disabled accept hop limit from RA if it is higher than the current hop
limit for security stuff. But this behavior kind of break the RFC definition.

RFC 4861, 6.3.4.  Processing Received Router Advertisements
   If the received Cur Hop Limit value is non-zero, the host SHOULD set
   its CurHopLimit variable to the received value.

So add sysctl option accept_ra_hop_limit to let user choose whether accept
hop limit info in RA.

No, you cannot add new one in the middle of these since 
values are exported to userspace.

Hi Yoshfuji-san,

Thanks for the reminding, should I also move the value in struct ipv6_devconf
to the end or just leave after accept_ra_pinfo?

Thanks
