Possibly my (bad) gfs2/dlm patch...

Please try applying Adrian Bunk's patch to see if that fixes the
IPV6 disappearing trick. (below)

This patch fixes a circular dependency by letting GFS2_FS_LOCKING_DLM 
and DLM depend on instead of select SYSFS.

Since SYSFS depends on EMBEDDED this change shouldn't cause any problems 
for users.
