sketch of a patch fixing the issue

ng_cisco's cisco_notify() routine only sends flow control messages to nodes
connected via 'inet' hook, completely ignoring those connected via 'inet6'.
This poses some problem if peer node relies on link status information pass=
ed
from ng_cisco. I'd therefore like to suggest a patch (perhaps something sim=
ilar
to what I attached). All it does is to make ng_cisco node pass flow control
messages to *both* 'inet' and 'inet6' peers. It seems to me that it is both
possible and sensible to expect both mentioned hooks to be connected at the
same time.
