In linux kernel since version 4.1 (release Date: 2015-06-21)  
Support for IPv6 Identifier Locator Addressing (ILA).

ILA is a mechanism to do network virtualization without
encapsulation. The basic concept of ILA is that we split an
IPv6 address into a 64 bit locator and 64 bit identifier. The
identifier is the identity of an entity in communication
("who") and the locator expresses the location of the
entity ("where").

ILA can be configured using the "encap ila" option with
"ip -6 route" command. ILA is described in
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-herbert-nvo3-ila-00.

If unsure, say N.
