[net-next?,V2] pktgen: Use simpler test for non-zero ipv6 address

Reduces object size and should be slightly faster.

allyesconfig: 
$ size net/core/pktgen.o*
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  52284	   4321	  11840	  68445	  10b5d	net/core/pktgen.o.new
  52310	   4293	  11848	  68451	  10b63	net/core/pktgen.o.old

That's better I guess.
I forgot about it and didn't see it.
I saw the IPV6_ADDR_ANY type tests and
didn't look further.

Anyway, it's odd that it generates slightly larger code
than the original patch's direct tests in 32bit with
gcc 4.7.2.  Perhaps an interesting lack of optimization?

cheers, Joe

ipv4 and ipv6 use different styles for these tests.

ipv4_is_<foo>(__be32)
ipv6_addr_<foo>(struct in6_addr *)

Perhaps it'd be good to convert the ipv4 tests to the ipv6 style.

There are ~100 instances of ipv4_is_<foo> tests treewide.

Maybe all the is_<foo>_ether_addr  functions should be renamed
to eth_addr_<foo> for more api/style symmetry.

$ git grep --name-only -E "\bis_\w+_ether_addr" | \
  xargs sed -r -i -e 's/\bis_(\w+)_ether_addr\b/eth_addr_\1/g'
$ git diff --shortstat

Maybe add #defines of the old names for a few releases.

Looks good.

This should go to -net, net-next is not open currently.

Thanks.

I presume there is a 'const' in there ...

You don't want to force an IPv4 address (which might be in a register)
be written out to stack.
Taking the address also has implications for the optimiser.

Of course not, I'm just talking about renaming.

Please resubmit when net-next opens.
