Current multicast routing logic in driver assumes it's always meant to
deal with IPv4 multicast routes, leaving several placeholders for
later IPv6 support [currently usually WARN()].
This patch changes the driver's internal multicast route struct into
holding a common mr_mfc instead of the IPv4 mfc_cache.
The various placeholders are grouped into 2:
- Functions that require only the common bits; These remain and the
restriction for IPv4-only is lifted.
- Function that require IPv4-specifics - for handling these functions
we add sets of operations that encapsulate the protocol differences

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
