  • Add 'autoconf' and 'disable_ipv6' parameters to the IPv6 module.

    The first controls if IPv6 addresses are autoconfigured from
    prefixes received in Router Advertisements. The IPv6 loopback
    (::1) and link-local addresses are still configured.

    The second controls if IPv6 addresses are desired at all. No
    IPv6 addresses will be added to any interfaces.

  • Add "disable" module parameter support to ipv6.ko by specifying
    "disable=1" on module load. We just do the minimum of initializing
    inetsw6[] so calls from other modules to inet6_register_protosw()
    won't OOPs, then bail out. No IPv6 addresses or sockets can be
    created as a result, and a reboot is required to enable IPv6.
