 Basically behavior is is like that
 
 /128 mask:
 ipv6_activate_all_interfaces="YES" && /128  -> OK
 NO ipv6_activate_all_interfaces && /128  -> *tentative*
 
 /127 mask:
 ipv6_activate_all_interfaces="YES" && /127  -> OK
 NO ipv6_activate_all_interfaces && /127  -> *OK*
 
 I find that behavior is inconsistent, mask of /128 has no any magic meaning.
