[Users] ibacm?

I modified the patch to include whether it's IPv6 or IPv4 IOCtl that's
failed:

        ret = ioctl(s, SIOCGIFCONF, ifc);
        if (ret < 0) {
                acm_log(0, "ioctl IPv%s ifconf error: %s\n",
                        (family == AF_INET6) ? "6" : "4", strerror(errno));
                goto out2;
        }
