The code doesn't lie! If removing the bits that were only true for older 
dnsmasq removed the lines that ran radvd, then it's true. (I recall that 
support for RA was added to dnsmasq fairly soon after the original ipv6 
support was added, and radvd was left in libvirt only because there were 
so many downstreams that still had an older dnsmasq).
