Re: [Patch net-next v3 9/9] selinux: use generic union inet_addr

[David Miller]

It's so that you can pass a generic ipv4/ipv6 address blob into
things like printf formatting, and since there is an address family
member present, it knows what's in there and therefore one printf
format specifier can handle both ipv4 and ipv6 addresses.

Like you, I think these changes a complete waste of time too, I'm just
relaying what I was told.
