Bug 475572

Are any components other than kernel affected by this feature?

No. Unless there the installation and tools to configure IPv6 differentiate (follow different code paths) between OSA and HiperSockets devices.
Please check with David Cantrell (installation) and Harald Hoyer (tools) if they see the need.
