Nice. But where is a use of this? [For reason of the question, see below].

Very interesting. I am very curious, what kind of "offload" is possible
with current stack are possible. Even if you know addresses. :-)

What's about the patch... Do you understand that currently
it is impossible to call notifiers for adding/deletion of each IPv6 address
in an intelligible context? Not seeing uses of such notifiers,
it is difficult to approve such feature because of danger of misuse
now and even worse misuse in (near) future, when context will change.
