Yep,

and the commit breaking uapi headers is by using "struct in6_addr ip6" is:

Subject: [PATCH] bridge: export multicast database via netlink

V5: fix two bugs pointed out by Thomas
     remove seq check for now, mark it as TODO

V4: remove some useless #include
     some coding style fix

V3: drop debugging printk's
     update selinux perm table as well

V2: drop patch 1/2, export ifindex directly
     Redesign netlink attributes
     Improve netlink seq check
     Handle IPv6 addr as well

This patch exports bridge multicast database via netlink
message type RTM_GETMDB. Similar to fdb, but currently bridge-specific.
We may need to support modify multicast database too (RTM_{ADD,DEL}MDB).

(Thanks to Thomas for patient reviews)
