The current implementation to uncompress addresses in a 6lowpan header
is completely broken.
This patch series fixes the parsing of addresses in a 6lowpan header.
It contains a major rewrite of the uncompress address function to parse
the address in a correct way.
Alexander Aring (5):
6lowpan:
This patch adds a helper function to parse the ipv6 header to a
6lowpan header in stream.
This function checks first if we can pull data with a specific
length from a skb. If this seems to be okay, we copy skb data to
a destination pointer and run skb_pull.

When a new 6lowpan fragment is received, a skbuff is allocated for
the reassembled packet. However when a 6lowpan packet compresses
link-local addresses based on link-layer addresses, the processing
function relies on the skb mac control block to find the related
link-layer a
A link-local address isn't fe80::/10 it's fe80::/64

Also fix a comment issue "local link" -> "link-local"

Add function to uncompress multicast address.
This function split the uncompress function for a multicast address
in a seperate function.
To uncompress a multicast address is different than a other
non-multicasts addresses according to rfc6282.

This patch simplify the handling to set fields inside of struct ipv6hdr
to zero. Instead of setting some memory regions with memset to zero we
initialize the whole ipv6hdr to zero.
This is a optimization for parsing the 6lowpan header and not a bug fix.

This patch drop the pre and postcount calculation from the
lowpan_uncompress_addr function.
We use instead a switch case over address_mode value, it's easier
to understand what's going on there.
