This patchset introduces the support for network namespaces in IPv6
multicast forwarding code (net/ipv6/ip6mr.c).

The first patches in the series moves global data from ip6mr.c into 
struct netns_ipv6 to prepare netns support. Data are still referenced in
init_net only. One of these patches makes the related /proc entries
per-namespace.

The last patch does the main job and enables the network namespace support
by replacing all the init_net references with the proper net retrieved
from sockets or net devices.

The patchset applies on top of net-next-2.6

Changelog
=========
V2:
* Counter cache_resolve_queue_len for unresolved entries must also be
  per-namespace if we don't want to be limited to 10 unresolved entries
  for all the netns. New patch:
  "netns: ip6mr: declare counter cache_resolve_queue_len per-namespace"
* Reordered the series a bit

Regards,
Benjamin
