Nominally an autoconfigured IPv6 address is added to an interface in the
Tentative state (as per RFC 2462). Addresses in this state remain in this
state while the Duplicate Address Detection process operates on them to
determine their uniqueness on the network. During this period, these
tentative addresses may not be used for communication, increasing the time
before a node may be able to communicate on a network. Using Optimistic
Duplicate Address Detection, autoconfigured addresses may be used
immediately for communication on the network, as long as certain rules are
followed to avoid conflicts with other nodes during the Duplicate Address
Detection process.Signed-off-by: Neil Horman

GLIBC uses them etc.
They are guarded by ifndef __KERNEL__ so nobody will start
accidently using them in the kernel again, it's just for
userspace.Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

IFA_F_HOMEADDRESS is introduced for Mobile IPv6 Home Addresses on
Mobile Node.The IFA_F_HOMEADDRESS flag should be set for Mobile IPv6 Home
Addresses for 2 purposes. 1) We need to check this on receipt of
Type 2 Routing Header (RFC3775 Secion 6.4), 2) We prefer Home
Address(es) in source address selection (RFC3484 Section 5 Rule 4).Signed-off-by: Noriaki TAKAMIYA

IFA_F_NODAD flag, similar to IN6_IFF_NODAD in BSDs, is introduced
to skip DAD.This flag should be set to Mobile IPv6 Home Address(es) on Mobile
Node because DAD would fail if we should perform DAD; our Home Agent
protects our Home Address(es).Signed-off-by: Noriaki TAKAMIYA
