The implementation of SRv6 End.DT4 differs from the the implementation of SRv6
End.DT6 due to the different *route input* lookup functions. For IPv6 is it
possible to force the routing lookup specifying a routing table through the
ip6_pol_route() function (as it is done in the seg6_lookup_any_nexthop()).

It is unfortunate that the IPv6 variant got in without the VRF piece.

Should we make it a requirement for this series to also extend the v6
version to support the preferred VRF-based operation? Given VRF is
better and we require v4 features to be implemented for v6?

I think it is better to separate the two aspects... adding a missing feature in IPv4 datapath should not depend on improving the quality of the implementation of the IPv6 datapath :-)

I think that Andrea is willing to work on improving the IPv6 implementation, but this should be considered after this patchset...
