Hi all!

I have added a dump function(always return true) to recognise RPL 
extension header(RFC6553)
Otherwise packet was dropped by kernel resulting in failing 
communication in RPL DAG's between
linux running border routers and devices in the graph.For example 
communication
with contiki OS running devices was previously impossible.
