   Umm, I think an app guy can do that with creating an AF_INET socket; there 
   will not be IPv6 there.  Folks Who Think They Know Best decided that dual 
   use for AF_INET6 would be best, and IPV6_V6ONLY was invented (note: it'd 
   already implemented by some others) to repair that.

Ok, ignore my silly idea then.

Let us continue with verifying correctness of the USAGI
patch.
