> The checks to see if key->dst.s6_addr and key->src.s6_addr are null pointers
> are redundant because these are constant size arrays and so the checks
> always return true.  Fix this by removing the redundant
> checks.   Also replace filter->f with vf, allowing wide lines to be
> condensed and to rejoin some split wide lines.
