Split $ipv6_prefer into $ip6addrctl_policy and $ipv6_activate_all_interfaces.
The $ip6addrctl_policy is a variable to choose a pre-defined address selection policy set by ip6addrctl(8). The keyword "ipv4_prefer" sets IPv4-preferred one described in Section 10.3, the keyword "ipv6_prefer" sets IPv6-preferred one in Section 2.1 in RFC 3484, respectively. When "AUTO" is specified, it attempts to read /etc/ip6addrctl.conf first. If it is found, it reads and installs it as a policy table. If not, either of the two pre-defined policy tables is chosen automatically according to $ipv6_activate_all_interfaces. When $ipv6_activate_all_interfaces=NO, interfaces which have no corresponding $ifconfig_IF_ipv6 is marked as IFDISABLED for security reason. The default values are ip6addrctl_policy=AUTO and ipv6_activate_all_interfaces=NO. Discussed with: ume and bz

+ The $ipv6_prefer variable in rc.conf(5) has been split into
+ $ip6addrctl_policy and $ipv6_activate_all_interfaces.
+
+ The $ip6addrctl_policy is a variable to choose a pre-defined
+ address selection policy set by ip6addrctl(8). A value
+ "ipv4_prefer", "ipv6_prefer" or "AUTO" can be specified. The
+ default is "AUTO".
+
+ The $ipv6_activate_all_interfaces specifies whether IFDISABLED
+ flag (see an entry of 20090926) is set on an interface with no
+ corresponding $ifconfig_IF_ipv6 line. The default is "NO" for
+ security reason. If you want IPv6 link-local address on all
+ interfaces by default, set this to "YES".
+
+ The old ipv6_prefer="YES" is equivalent to
+ ipv6_activate_all_interfaces="YES" and
+ ip6addrctl_policy="ipv6_prefer".
