We are about to convert to using separate RPC listener sockets for
AF_INET and AF_INET6.  This echoes the way IPv6 is handled in user
space by TI-RPC, and eliminates the need to worry about mapped IPv4
AF_INET6 addresses when doing address comparisons.

Start by setting the IPV6ONLY flag on RPC listener sockets.

As far as I can tell PF_INET6 and AF_INET6 are interchangeable here. I can find examples of sk_family being set to or compared to either, and I think they always have the same value. So it's really just a style preference?

...and this should probably be set before we bind the socket...

Yes, that's probably correct. I hadn't encountered EADDRINUSE in my testing.

Should I send you a fix, or do you have one in mind already?

               kernel_setsockopt(sock, SOL_IPV6, IPV6_V6ONLY,
                                       (char *)&val, sizeof(val));
