Specifying an IPv6 suffix

I want to control the IPv6 suffix for my interfaces and let the prefix be set with RA. Currently I can either have the RA prefix with the MAC address for the suffix, or I can specify a complete IPv6 address (and gateway) and ignore RA (doing this manually in the ifcfg-eth0 file as I don't see how
