OK, but svc_create_xprt has a few more.

Right, I understand, but we could equally well do that by calling
svc_create_xprt twice, and depending on it (or __svc_xpo_create(), or
someone else there) to return -EAFNOSUPPORT in the !defined(CONFIG_IPV6)
&& !defined(CONFIG_IPV6_MODULE case. Right?

No change in behavior, I just want the #ifdef's buried a little further
if it's possible.
