Subject: adding IPv6 address in the kernel

Hello,
    I am trying to create a virtual interface by using new_device kernel 
call.  I would like to be able to specify an IPv6 address for this 
device immediately after its creation in the module code.  I have seen 
an example of how this can be done via the (struct ifreq) and 
devinet_ioctl call for IPv4.  What is the equivalent functionality for IPv6?

Thanks in advance,

Roman
