 I also looked into an ipv6 counterpart of the ipv4_addrs_common, and
 your patch looks good, but I am a bit concerned about adding another
 independent knob to configure IPv6 addresses to rc.conf.  I feel this
 range specification can be integrated into ifconfig_IF_aliasN and it
 will be simpler than adding another knob.  What do you think about
 it?
