Public bug reported:

Some random IPV6 seems to be selected for the DHCP port when the port is
created.

It's not really a bug for say but this makes the behaviour less
predictable ...

For instance, in devstack, by default, it will create a random 40 bit
IPV6 global ID (to comply with RFC 4193) (d23:2460:6566::/64 in this
example) and then will create a gateway (fd23:2460:6566::1) which is
totally predictable.   Then, for some reasons, the DHCP port gets this
IP: fd23:2460:6566:0:f816:3eff:fe6e:cc8e ...  For some reasons, I would
have expected it to be fd23:2460:6566::2 ...

I would expect the VMs to get IPs that are sequentially higher than the
gateway...  In this case,

VM                       : fd23:2460:6566:0:f816:3eff:fe50:70ac
DHCP/DNS/etc: fd23:2460:6566:0:f816:3eff:fe6e:cc8e
