+ Commit f5195b1a63df removed in6_maxmtu and its setter in6_setmaxmtu().
+ in6_maxmtu is used to store the max IPv6 MTU of all interfaces,
+ however it does not have any in-tree consumers since the introduction
+ from the KAME project. The removal should have little impact, and the
+ max IPv6 MTU can be easily retrieved by iterating over all the attached
+ interface if 3rd party modules need it.
