kernel: NET: Registered protocol family 2

Hey, wait a minute, I have in my /etc/modprobe.conf: alias net-pf-2 off

WHAT GIVES HERE????

It's probably compiled into the kernel directly and not as a module.

I'm not convinced .. you can start without network .. although that may just load the interfaces .. I would chkconfig network off and boot again. If net-pf-2 still loads in dmesg .. then I would believe it is compiled in .. but probably being called from something in rc.sysinit.
I disabled network. For all runlevels. Rebooted. Did not see any messages about starting loopback.

Opened a terminal window and did a ifconfig. There was lo with 127.0.0.1 (along with ::1). pinged 127.0.0.1. Does not look good. looked at dmesg, grepping for NET. Families 16,2,1,17,10, and 31 registered.

So looks like I am stuck with IPv4 no matter what. Unless there is some magic glue in rc.sysinit.
