Add IPv6 support into ipmitool, so it can make communication/pass data over IPv6. The following seems to be reasonable(at least now) to distinguish IPv6 address is given and IPv6 communication is required. Yes, order of '-6' and '-H' matters.
# ipmitool -6 [params] -H <IPv6_addr> <command and params>;

    Please check/review generic IPv6 patch https://sourceforge.net/p/ipmitool/patches/81
    No special IPv6 command line argument '-6' would be needed. Tyan proprietary SOL (TSOL) is - and based on the code will remain - IPv4 only, so the modifications in ipmi_tsol.c deal with the changed socket structure only and not with setting up an IPv6 TSOL connection.

    fixed with https://sourceforge.net/p/ipmitool/patches/83/
    does not include payload changes - external dependency: standard missing
