IIRC, the point we (KAME) discussed in KAME meeting is that:
	(1) is obviously didn't work well at that time.
	(1) is not correct in terms of prefixlen.
	Ignoring prefixlen for (1) is confusing with (3).
		If prefixlen to be ignored, it should not be printed in
		ifconfig output.
		The kernel code should be 'hacked'
	How to do if 'prefixlen 64' is explicitly specified?
