According to the RFC4944 (Transmission of IPv6 Packets over
IEEE 802.15.4 Networks), chapter 7:
The IPv6 link-local address [RFC4291] for an IEEE 802.15.4 interface
is formed by appending the Interface Identifier, as defined above, to
the prefix FE80::/64.

This patch adds IPv6 address generation support for the 6lowpan
interfaces.
