- linux does not accept prefixes for SLAAC unequal to 64 bits: http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/net/ipv6/addrconf.c#L2741
- when networkd tries export such a route to the kernel it will get -EINVAL and
set the whole device into a failed state.
- this patch will make networkd ignore such prefixes for SLAAC,
but process other informations which may contain other prefixes.
- Note that rfc4862 does not forbid prefix length != 64 bit
