[SLOF] [PATCH 0/6] net-snk: More IPv6 fixes and improvements

Here are some more bug fixes and improvements for the IPv6 code
in SLOF:
First patch takes care of getting rid of some junk bytes at the
end of IPv6 TFTP packets (similar to the problem I recently fixed
with DHCPv6 packets).
The next two patches are required that SLOF properly sends IPv6
with non-link-local unicast addresses (if available), which is
needed for example if the TFTP server is not on the same link
as the client.
The following patches are minor cleanup and finally a patch that
allows to use stateless address autoconfiguration also when the
TFTP server address and bootfile name have been specified manually.

 Cheers,
  Thomas
