Hi,
The subject line is a bit long (use 'git shortlog -30' to get an idea of
typical length), so I trimmed it to:
network: fix dnsmasq/radvd binding to IPv6 on recent kernels
I hit this problem recently when trying to create a bridge with an IPv6
address on a 3.2 kernel: dnsmasq (and, further, radvd) would not bind to
the given address, waiting 20s and then giving up with -EADDRNOTAVAIL
(resp. exiting immediately with "error parsing or activating the config
file", without libvirt noticing it, BTW). This can be reproduced with (I
think) any kernel >= 2.6.39 and the following XML (to be used with
"virsh net-create"):

Formatting - we tend to prefer operators with spaces on both sides, and
line breaks after operators.
ACK with those changes, so I fixed it and pushed, along with your
.mailmap update.
