> With this patch, the IGMP and MLD message validation functions are moved
> from the bridge code to IPv4/IPv6 multicast files. Some small
> refactoring was done to enhance readibility and to iron out some
> differences in behaviour between the IGMP and MLD parsing code (e.g. the
> skb-cloning of MLD messages is now only done if necessary, just like the
> IGMP part always did).
> 
> Finally, these IGMP and MLD message validation functions are exported so
> that not only the bridge can use it but batman-adv later, too.
