FWIW if_tun does support IPv6 -- it's just abstracted a bit so that we can
build it into a module without knowing in advance whether the kernel has
IPv6 support built in.

tuninit() just *looks* IPv4-only because it sets up a dstaddr for IPv4
configurations, where IPv6 just uses a prefixlen of 128.
