suggested patches for netinet6/

While adapting to ipv6 the new arp table code I am developing
following Andre's ideas, i hit a few places that would deserve a
fix independently of that:

+ nd6_nud_hint() is only called as nd6_nud_hint(NULL, NULL, 0);
  in some cases from netinet/tcp_input.c
  With these args, the routine is a NOP. I propose to remove it
  (and the associated field, ln_byhint, in struct llinfo_nd6)

+ In a couple of places, the logic to compute 'olladdr' and 'llchange'
  is rather convoluted, and it could be greatly simplified (see below)

+ nd6_output() contains a tail-recursive call which certainly can be
  removed by using a 'goto' near the beginning of the function
  (or maybe in a better way!)

Also:
+ in nd6_na_input() we are responding to an nd6 message on interface 'ifp',
  so i guess in the routine rt->rt_ifp == ifp, and we can use the latter
  when needed instead of rt->rt_ifp ?
 
+ is it ok to remove the __P() from the header files, ANSIfy
  the function declarations and make them static as appropriate ?
  Of course this ought to be done as a separate step.

I am attaching the relevant snippets of the diff... Can anyone comment ?
Any objection if i commit the trivial fixes to the first 3 issues above ?
What about the style changes ?

	cheers
