Comment (by tomek):

 That is a workaround for missing interface detection. Its purpose is to
 detect what is a name of looppack interface: lo or lo0. DHCPv6 uses link-
 local multicast addresses. During socket joining multicast, interface name
 has to be specified. The whole thing is a stub implementation before
 proper interface detection is implemented. To run most of the remaining
 tests in a portable (on both Linux that use lo and BSD that use lo0), I
 need to know loopback interface name. Important point here is that by end
 of November, we are planning to have proper interface detection
 implemented. By that time this stub code will go away.
