+ * nm_ip6_addr_rfc6724_label:
+ * @addr: an IPv6 address
+ *
+ * Returns the label for @addr from the default policy table defined
+ * in RFC 6724, Section 2.1:
+ *
+ *   Prefix        Precedence Label
+ *   ::1/128               50     0
+ *   ::/0                  40     1
+ *   ::ffff:0:0/96         35     4
+ *   2002::/16             30     2
+ *   2001::/32              5     5

+ *   3ffe::/16              1    12
+ *
+ * Returns: the label value (0-13). It can be used in the Source
+ *   Address Selection algorithm to prefer a source whose label
+ *   matches with the label of the destination.
