RFC: [2.6 patch] disallow modular IPv6

[Adrian Bunk]

It seems modular IPv6 doesn't work 100% reliable, e.g. after looking at 
the code it doesn't seem to be a good idea to compile a kernel without 
IPv6 support and later build and install IPv6 modules. Is there a great 
need for modular IPv6 or is the patch below to disallow modular IPv6 OK?
