I was wrong here.  This part is only for the extraction of the "inner"
addresses in an tap/ethernet packet, which are then subsequently used
for ENABLE_PF filtering.

Since *that* only has IPv4 (because nobody reviewed and ACKed Antonio's
"make PF support IPv6" patches yet) it makes sense that the code only
extract IPv4 addresses.

Now, I see a slight merge conflict with the PF/IPv6 patch set... :-)
