OK, with the patch below all the correct IPv6 groups seem to be
created and used. Ping works at least...
One question about IPv6 and IPoIB: currently the IPoIB driver joins
the IPv4 broadcast group and then uses those parameters to join or
create (as needed) the other groups, including all IPv6 multicast
groups. Is this correct, or is there a distinguished IPv6 MCG that is
supposed to be used as a base as the IPv4 broadcast group is?
Thanks,
Roland
