Add IPv6 support in L2L3 xmit policy.
L3L4 doesn't support IPv6 either, and I'll try to fix that later.

There have been some attempts to add support for ipv6 hashing this in
the past, but none have been committed.  The best one I had seen was one
that did some extensive testing one a wide variety of ipv6 traffic and
it showed nice traffic distribution.  I'm not sure if it was ever posted
upstream, so I will see if I can dig it up.

Can you quantify how traffic was distributed with this algorithm?

	As I recall, the IPv6 issues had to do with the "layer3+4" hash,
because the IPv6 TCP or UDP port numbers can be harder to get at than in
IPv4 (which typically has a fixed size header).  The above is just for
layer 2, so it only hits the IPv6 addresses, which don't move around.

	That said, I believe that many IPv6 addresses are derived from
the MAC address, the autoconf addresses in particular, so s6_addr32[3]
may not show a lot more variation than just the MAC address.  I don't
know for sure though, since I haven't tested it.

	I don't recall seeing the patch you mention, Andy, that checks
ipv6 traffic; can you post it?

My test was not extensive. I manually set some addresses which vary by
the last 32bit portion, and the traffic was distributed evenly across
slaves.

I agree that the real world IPv6 traffic should be used for more extensive test.

This is a good point. The last 32bit portion is not enough for some cases.
