ah thanks, now I understand it!
so an alternative would be:
if (ipv6_addr_scope(&a6->sin6_addr) & IPV6_ADDR_LINKLOCAL &&
a6->sin6_scope_id != b6->sin6_scope_id)
...
maybe this is a little bit faster instead of ipv6_addr_src_scope.
Should I resend a v2 with the faster solution?

I don't understand why we need such a function here. We only check if
"a6" is linklocal and has a different sin6_scope_id than "b6" sin6_scope_id
and we don't compare "a6" and "b6" here (then "b6" should be a
linklocal, too). I think it's too abstract for me what exactly "compare"
means in this case. :-)
