Most programs dont need lots of overhead for IPv6. It boils down to a few
lines in the resolver routines and in bind (most of which must be in there
to not choke on Ipv6 information, anyway!), and a bit more for some
specialized programs.

As for the kernel: you can build an IPv4-only kernel without problems,
I think.
