Quickly testing ordinary kernels without big effort via netbooting is
a very important feature. Using that setup for emergency recovery
and a quick root-on-NFS to fix the broken usual root is extremely convenient.

I would realy hate to see that setup become more complex.

I would suggest to add a simple kernel option to solicit RAs similar
to the DAD handling, and also fill any gaps that we might have for
root-on-NFS-via-IPv6.
