 auto_linklocal does not work on the second loopback interface because
 multiple loopback interface support for IPv6 is incomplete at this
 moment.  You need to add fe80::1%lo1 (or similar) manually if you
 want an LLA.

 The ifconfig_IF_ipv6 line determines whether the interface uses IPv6
 or not.  So if you drop it, all of inet6 configuration such as
 ifconfig_IF_aliasN="inet6..." will be ignored.
