Thank you.  I've committed 1st patch and 3rd patch.
I think it is better removing the 'me6' microinstruction from the
kernel, and implement it in /sbin/ipfw by generating 'ip6 me'.
However, it seems to me that /sbin/ipfw is not designed to generate
two microinstructions (ip6 me) per one 'me6' easily.

Sincerely,
