Pretty much, yes.  I don't think that would be my first choice for where to 
put the call (maybe addrconf.c or af_inet6.c would be better) but it probably 
doesn't matter too much.

But you also need to consider how to return the data without breaking 
existing applications.  It may be that you need to create a new ioctl 
rather than change the existing SIOCGIFCONF.
