+	Commit e64fe5ad3a23 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.

 	Commit 772258c89f28 changed the internal API between the nfscommon
 	and nfscl modules.  Both need to be built from updated sources.
