Log message:
	Revert - Pavlin was right.  RTM_DELLINK is sent only when an interface is
	destroyed - NOT when it goes down.  HOWEVER, Linux kernels prior to 2.6.24 had a
	bug in the IPv6 handling code that would generate a RTM_DELLINK when an IPv6
	interface went down.  Hence I was seeing the message being sent when interfaces
	went down (not destroyed) and I "fixed" it.
	
	The Linux kernel fix was submitted by Milan Kocia on 13/Sept/07 as "[PATCH 1/1]
	ipv6: remove redundant RTM_DELLINK message".
