	in6_purgeaddr() calls in6_savemkludge().  when the last interface
	address is removed by in6_purgeaddr(), the list of joined multicast
	group will be attached into in6_mk.  when if_detach() removes ifnet
	from if_list, I think if_detach should notify IPv6 part and ask
	removal of kludge entry (otherwise ifnet * will be kept there).

	i think the code does the thing right.  the missing piece is
	removal of kludge entry when ifnet goes invisible by if_detach
	(I think kludge entry should go away - am I correct?)

	I think there needs to be more LIST_REMOVE(inm, inm_list) in
	sys/netinet/in.c, specifically when interface address is removed.
	(otherwise multicast group info will become orphan)
	We can just copy kludge entry code from IPv6 part.
