Well, uniqueness isn't guaranteed but that should work in most cases.
ipv6 anyway checks for duplicate addresses after configuration.
As I see creation of ipvlan on ipvlan just creates slave at original
master device, so this will work as expected. And ipvlan cannot share
physical device with bonding/bridge/macvlan, so I don't see how to
stack more than one layer of ipvlans accidentally.
