Hmmm...AFAIR, there shouldn't be any conversions happening. It's all
heavily typed to prevent it (nothing should be using a 64-bit type if a
32-bit type is needed). If it's a kernel change, though, I'll
look for it and see what's going on with that.
Is it the IPv6->IPv4 tunnel stuff that you're referring to or the pure
IPv6 code?
