    ipv4: add sysctl to accept packets with local source addresses
    
    Change fib_validate_source() to accept packets with a local source address when
    the "accept_local" sysctl is set for the incoming inet device. Combined with the
    previous patches, this allows to communicate between multiple local interfaces
    over the wire.

Obligatory grumble. New binary sysctl.  Grumble.

Honestly this might be the one new sysctl that doesn't conflict with
my sysctl tree.  That should merge to Linus sometime this merge cycle
which will stop exporting this to userspace. So I don't have any
real complaints.  Grumble.

This overloading of sysctl.h for the binary sysctl numbers and
the index into the perdevice sysctls is something we should probably
change at some point to keep maintenance a little less confusing.

Yes, unfortunately its currently not possible to add inetdev sysctls
without allocating new numbers.
