By looking at the patch, it looks that your changes seem reasonable.
The first two SEG6_LOCAL_{UNSPEC,ACTION} attributes are quite "special" in the
sense that they do not have the seg6_action_param callbacks set.
The SEG6_LOCAL_UNSPEC attribute is practically not used; while
SEG6_LOCAL_ACTION is handled out of the several loops.

Hence, I think we can skip these two attributes (in the loops) by setting the
induction variable to the value you proposed, i.e. SEG6_LOCAL_SRH.

Ciao,
Andrea
