Actually, this is fine, too. ipv6_addr_scope does mask the addr_type with
IPV6_ADDR_SCOPE_MASK (which is 0x00f0U). If you look at addrconf_core.c you
see that the 4 bits stand by itself each time.
Actually it seems ipv6_addr_src_scope is better suitable for multicast scope
handling and ipv6_addr_scope with IFA_{HOST,LINK,SITE} is fine for
non-multicast. In this case there is no difference.
Maybe an int ipv6_cmp_sockaddr(struct in6_addr *a1, int scope1,
struct in6_addr *a2, int scope2)
or
int ipv6_cmp_sockaddr(struct sockaddr_in6 *s1,
struct sockaddr_in6 *s2)
would be nice so we don't need to open code it everywhere.

Hannes
