net.inet6.ip6.auto_linklocal is cleared, based on, ipv6_enable
really early in the boot process before any interfaces are
configured (see rcorder). When the interface is attached
the kernel will auto configure a link local address if
net.inet6.ip6.auto_linklocal is still 1.
grep for auto_linklocal in the kernel sources for all the
details.
