        if you are writing some other kernel code, drop them.
        KAME ip6_input() should make it sure to drop those - i'll check
        if we already do it or not.

        if you are writing userland applications, you need not to worry
        about it.  scoped IP addresses will come up as fe80::foobar, with
        sin6_scope_id filled in.
