>Description:
        Pre-5.99.6 ifconfig binary cannot configure IPv6 network address.

>How-To-Repeat:
        eos# ifconfig hme0 inet6 eos alias
        ifconfig: SIOCAIFADDR_IN6: Inappropriate ioctl for device

>Fix:
        Some structures in netinet6/in6_var.h use time_t. So it
        seems we need to provide compat ioctls.
