Still, this does not solve the problem for people wanting to disable
ipv6 module load or disable it ?

install ipv6 /bin/true

or

options ipv6 disable=1

I tried both ways with my patch and could load ip_gre module. But in
both ways, register_icmpv6_send() was not called so ip_gre could not try
to use icmpv6_send()
