Yoshifuji has made a patch for supporting sin6_scope_id.
It works well with current glibc which has no sin6_scope_id.

The patch can intorduce sin6_scope_id function into kernel
without any problem of existing userland applications.

But, in order to use sin6_scope_id function from userland
application, we have to take a crack at glibc.

I hope that the patch is applied to linux kernel...
