Small ticket item for DragonFly BSD

[Adam W. Dace]

Any idea if this commit is included in DragonFly 4.2.1?

I'm currently running DragonFly 4.0.6 and am doing my best to avoid
recompiling the OS to get fixes.
One of the nodes I'm running only has SATA storage, it'd take hours
probably.  ;)

I wouldn't mind doing yet-one-more reinstall to have IPv6 working, though.
