PATCH 1/1 make a subsystem for af_inet6

Subject: make a subsystem for af_inet6
From: Daniel Lezcano <[email protected]>

This patch add a network namespace subsystem for the af_inet6 module. It does nothing right now, but one of its purpose is to receive the different variables for sysctl in order to initialize them.

When the sysctl variable will be moved to the network namespace structure, they will be no longer initialized as global static variables, so we must find a place to initialize them. Because the sysctl can be disabled, it has no sense to store them in the sysctl_net_ipv6 file.
