 I think the final change needs to wait for the IEEE Std 754 NaN 
interlinking ABI specificification to be settled on first, which I am 
going to work on now.  As the change you have approved here is only needed 
for the final patch, to have link information available in private BFD 
data merging, I am going to postpone pushing the change proposed here 
until the final patch is about to be committed.

 Thanks for your review, I have applied all the preceding clean-ups now.  

 Happy New Year!
