Ilia K ee5e81f000 add vif using local interface index instead of IP
When routing daemon wants to enable forwarding of multicast traffic it
performs something like:

       struct vifctl vc = {
               .vifc_vifi  = 1,
               .vifc_flags = 0,
               .vifc_threshold = 1,
               .vifc_rate_limit = 0,
               .vifc_lcl_addr = ip, /* <--- ip address of physical
interface, e.g. eth0 */
               .vifc_rmt_addr.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_ANY),
         };
       setsockopt(fd, IPPROTO_IP, MRT_ADD_VIF, &vc, sizeof(vc));

This leads (in the kernel) to calling  vif_add() function call which
search the (physical) device using assigned IP address:
       dev = ip_dev_find(net, vifc->vifc_lcl_addr.s_addr);

The current API (struct vifctl) does not allow to specify an
interface other way than using it's IP, and if there are more than a
single interface with specified IP only the first one will be found.

The attached patch (against 2.6.30.4) allows to specify an interface
by its index, instead of IP address:

       struct vifctl vc = {
               .vifc_vifi  = 1,
               .vifc_flags = VIFF_USE_IFINDEX,   /* NEW */
               .vifc_threshold = 1,
               .vifc_rate_limit = 0,
               .vifc_lcl_ifindex = if_nametoindex("eth0"),   /* NEW */
               .vifc_rmt_addr.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_ANY),
         };
       setsockopt(fd, IPPROTO_IP, MRT_ADD_VIF, &vc, sizeof(vc));
