Oh sure, what I meant was that simply running radvd & setting an
IPv6 addr on virbr0 isn't sufficient in all case. You need to turn
on IPv6 forwarding, but you can't do this if the primary LAN interfaces
are using IPv6 auto-config. So in most 'out of the box' scenarios
you won't be able to get routable IPv6 configs working on virbr0. It'll
only work if the admin has configured their host with non-autoconf
addresses and enabled forwarding.
