[PATCH] [50/50] ipv6: add special mode forwarding=2 to send RS while

[Andi Kleen]

2.6.35-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------
From: Thomas Graf <tgraf@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ upstream commit c3bccac2fa76f1619dfe4fb7b9bee69de7f066d8 ]
 configured as router

Similar to accepting router advertisement, the IPv6 stack does not send router
solicitations if forwarding is enabled.

This patch enables this behavior to be overruled by setting forwarding to the
special value 2.
