/*

 * =s IPv6, checking

 * =d
 *
 * Expects IP6 packets as input. Checks that the packet's length is
 * reasonable, and that the IP6 version,  length, are valid. Checks that the
 * IP6 source address is a legal unicast address. Shortens packets to the IP6
 * length, if the IP length is shorter than the nominal packet length (due to
 * Ethernet padding, for example). Pushes invalid packets out on output 1,
 * unless output 1 was unused; if so, drops invalid packets.
 *
 * The BADADDRS argument is a space-separated list of IP6 addresses that are
 * not to be tolerated as source addresses. 0::0 is a bad address for routers,
 * for example, but okay for link local packets.
