Call my imagination somewhat limited, but I have a truly hard time 
understanding how you could build a hardware that would not be able
to do that.  This is basically a pure control-plane functionality, 
plus "handle a virtual MAC address" - and if you use the same vmac for 
IPv4+IPv6, I can't see how the forwarding hardware would need to know
that there is IPv6 involved as well.

Wrong page of the "poor excuses for every day" calendar, maybe.
