Also, I am not sure we need to use all 128 bits of IPV6 address, maybe the 64 
low order bits are enough ?

Well, maybe, but in IPv6, auto-configured addresses on an interface have
the same 64-bit LSBs.  So, I'd keep as-is so far.


Hum... then maybe ipv6_addr_hash() in include/net/addrconf.h should be changed as well

static __inline__ u8 ipv6_addr_hash(const struct in6_addr *addr)
{
        __u32 word;

        /*
         * We perform the hash function over the last 64 bits of the address
         * This will include the IEEE address token on links that support it.
         */

        word = (__force u32)(addr->s6_addr32[2] ^ addr->s6_addr32[3]);
        word ^= (word >> 16);
        word ^= (word >> 8);

        return ((word ^ (word >> 4)) & 0x0f);
}
