a little note about this here. There exists two 6LoWPAN standard. One
for bluetooth low energy and one for IEEE 802.15.4.

The actual namespace is only for IEEE 802.15.4, because we need
fragmentation there. 6LoWPAN fragmentation for bluetooth low energy is
already handled by the MAC-Layer. So this has nothing to do with
CONFIG_BT_6LOWPAN.
