The above assignment causes the following compiler warning with
m68k-linux-gnu-gcc-4.1:

    drivers/net/vrf.c: In function ‘vrf_ip6_input_dst’:
    drivers/net/vrf.c:870: warning: initialized field with
side-effects overwritten
    drivers/net/vrf.c:870: warning: (near initialization for ‘fl6’)

Unfortunately I have no idea what it means, nor do I see what's wrong
with the code.
