When you wrote this, I noticed that if someone removes the LL addresses
to disable the interface and raises the MTU again, we would also start
adding link-local addresses. Probably we need to safe the last state of
disable_ipv6 somewhere in the parent interface. :(

Maybe there is an easier solution for that.

Thanks for your patch, it looks cleaner!

Bye,
Hannes
