One option would be to to make the sysctl variable we're looking
at present in kernels without IPv6, but just as a variable and not
as a sysctl. Another would be to look up the sysclt or symbol by
name in the running kernel and bail if it isn't present.

I presume we've run into this sort of problem before...
