It's not possible to create more than a few thousand IPv6 interfaces in 
my tests with a 4GB vm.  The culprit seems to be the per-cpu arrays for 
statistics using vmalloc() and wasting gobs of memory as a result (memory 
usage seems to be 10x per interface vs what IPv4 is using), but I haven't 
dug too deeply yet.
