It is nothing new, and works as intended.

Which is there to please Linus so that he didn't want to rip out the entire modularity of IPv6.
Somewhen along 2.5 I hope to have enough time to separate UDP, and TCP into their common modules, plus IPv4/IPv6 specific ones and have the entire shebang to do proper usage counting. (That is, have a IPv6 ONLY system built from modules -- unless someone beats me to that goal.)
