rtadvd/rrenum.c:179

When rtadvd is compiled on 7.0, the following warning is emitted:

/usr/src/usr.sbin/rtadvd/rrenum.c:179: warning: overflow in implicit
constant conversion

I have not determined if the code works correct or not, but I wonder
if it does.  the line in question is this:

   struct irr_raflagmask {
   	  u_char onlink : 1;
	  u_char autonomous : 1;
	  u_char reserved : 6;
   } irr_raflagmask;

irr->irr_raf_mask_onlink = (rpu->rpu_ramask & ICMP6_RR_PCOUSE_RAFLAGS_ONLINK);

rpu_ramask is unsigned char, the constant is 0x80, and
irr_raf_mask_onlink is a single bit value.  This troubles me, and the
compiler.

I'm only raising this for consideration; if it can be determined that
the code works correctly, maybe a commit can be made to silence the
warnings.
