Please mention in the commit message that you are renaming
recently-added members, and therefore this MUST be done in 2.6 before we
bake in the old naming, as part of your commit...

...rather than just a parenthetical note that gets lost during 'git am'.

In fact, I'd probably split it into two patches: one to rename existing
s/ip6-/ipv6-/ members, and the other to add new boolean members.

The last part is long; maybe:

..., default true for enabled (since 2.6)

Many QAPI commands do hanging indents, as in:

# @net: #optional IP network address that the guest will see, in the
#       form addr[/netmask] (default is 10.0.2.0/24). The netmask is

so that it is easier to spot the next member's documentation.  But I
don't think it is a strict requirement.
