  I could unload at one point, but it really isn't worth the effort.
  Doing that is fairly easy -- took me a week at one point, but the
  real effort which I see interesting is to have IPv6-only stack
  without IPv4 in kernel at all.  Developing that is -- likely
  a bit more of a challenge.

  There are:
   - IPv4 specific stuff
   - IPv6 specific stuff
   - generic TCP and UDP stuff

  Presently both the IPv4 specific, and generic TCP and UDP are
  in the IPv4 part.
