 I do configure IPv6, output clearly says that, and more specifically I configure it with /128.
 Let me show again again:
 
 case A, getting 'tentative'
 # ifconfig lo8 create
 # ifconfig lo8 up
 # ifconfig lo8 inet6 fc00::ff prefixlen 128               <- configuring IPv6 address with /128 prefix
 
 case B, all good, NO 'tentative'
 # ifconfig lo8 create
 # ifconfig lo8 up
 # ifconfig lo8 inet6 fc00::ff prefixlen 127              <- configuring IPv6 address with /127 prefix
 
 On FreeBSD 7.x, 8.x, 9.x case A works, while on 10.x interface is stuck in `tentative` permanently.
