Yes, it seems the Linux stack assumes that all link address types
behave the same way as RFC 2464 IPv6-over-Ethernet, namely that
padding in the ndisc option comes at the end of the link address.  If
I'm reading the code in FreeBSD's nd6_ns_output() correctly, it makes
the same assumption.

It would seem to make the most sense to update the IPoIB draft to
state that link address padding goes at the end of the ndisc option.
