I think you need to understand the OSI 7-layer model properly. If you remove IPV6 from the kernel then there is no support for IPV6 in the application - it doesn't make any difference to the code in the app, the support is not there at a lower level. Same way as if you remove kernel drivers for wifi/bluetooth/mobile - you won't get any connectivity at all. The application just does it's bit and then hands the rest of the work to the next level, and if it's not there, nothing happens.
