No objection.  Send me a patch.

If at some point we create some initialization dependency between ipv4
and ipv6 (f.e. ipv6 init needs some ipv4 table setup) we will need to
tread carefully to keep this from breaking.

I did a quick audit and no such dependency exists now, so we can put in
the change without breaking anything.
