I haven't changed that and probably it needs a separate patch in that
case since Im only, and I really mean only, fixing the address length
and because your patches end up changing a lot more things it is
pretty hard to extract the exact parts that fixes this.

Here I have to pretty blunt, it is a mistake to put link layer logic
inside the 6lowpan module, first it creates a dependencies of these
technologies and second it slow down the development because we end up
with multiple trees having to synchronize which each other.

Also I have not seen a single mention of link local IP that is not
using 6 or 8 bytes link layer format, and in fact if there exist one
then we should probably have the caller handle the link local ip
format, but then again I haven't seen any indication that these needs
changing in fact for 15.4 16 bit address you can generate a valid 8
bytes address before calling 6lowpan API, which is probably what we
should do to avoid depending on 15.4 code inside 6lowpan.
