Oof. I think I had the ipv6_addr_v4mapped changes wrong before due to
misreading the code. The existing code basically takes the different
values, does a bunch of bitwise operations on them and then compares
the result to 0.

My patch had it doing more than one comparison. I've got a fixed
version, but it does mean that we need to use a __force cast in one
place. I'll resend once I've tested it our some more.

Sorry for the noise!
