It actually does, via [__]ipv6_only_sock() calls since 7dab83de50c7
("sctp: Support ipv6only AF_INET6 sockets.").

My understanding is that these are slightly different.
v4mapped, if false, will allow the socket to deal with both address
types, without mapping. If true, it will map v4 into v6.
v6only, if false, it will do mapping for tcp/udp, but sctp won't use
it. If true, it will deny using v4, which is complementary to v4mapped
for sctp.
Did I miss anything?
