>Description:
I've found a lltable leak when you add and remove IPv6 addresses. I've made a
patch and it appears to address the issue but I'm not familiar with the code so
it could do with some code review.
>How-To-Repeat:
# vmstat -m | grep lltable
lltable 14 4K - 14 128,256
# ifconfig em0 inet6 3ffe:b00:1:1::1 alias
# vmstat -m | grep lltable
lltable 15 4K - 15 128,256
# ifconfig em0 inet6 3ffe:b00:1:1::1 -alias
# vmstat -m | grep lltable
