It actually seems to work fine to bring up multiple IPv6 interfaces
that end up with the same link local address (like ib0 and ib0.8001).
The fact that Linux forces you to specify an interface when using a
link local address comes to the rescue.  And I can't think of any
issues, since different partitions are really pretty disjoint.
