Ok, I'll leave this as it as for v3, and the network guys can shout if they want me to change it. Huw.

The functionality is equivalent to ipv6_renew_options() except that the newopt pointer is in kernel, not user, memory The kernel memory implementation will be used by the CALIPSO network labelling engine, which needs to be able to set IPv6 hop-by-hop options.
