committed the change. to enable IPv6 support in other architectures,
please perform the following changes:
1. add "optins INET6" to kernel configuration
(like sys/arch/i386/conf/INSTALL
2. add "-DINET6" into distrib/utils/arch/something/Makefile to enable
IPv6 autoconf support
3. bring in x_ping6 and rtsol into ramdisk packaging
and it should do the trick.
