Subject: [PATCHv2] ipv6: Create module parameter for use_tempaddr
When ipv6 is used as a module, there is no good place to set
the default value for use_tempaddr. Using sysctl.conf will
set this parameter too early -- before the module is loaded.
To solve this, create a module parameter that will set the
default value of use_tempaddr for all devices.
