	net.inet6.ip6.auto_linklocal is cleared, based on, ipv6_enable
	really early in the boot process before any interfaces are
	configured (see rcorder).  When the interface is attached
	the kernel will auto configure a link local address if
	net.inet6.ip6.auto_linklocal is still 1.

	grep for auto_linklocal in the kernel sources for all the
	details.
