I thought I'd done that standard stuff
/etc/modprobe.conf:
alias net-pf-10 off
alias ipv6 off
/etc/sysconfig/network:
NETWORKING_IPV6=no
But on reboot I still see ipv6 entries against the eth devices, ipv6 module
is still loaded, and sit0 tunnel is present.
What needs to be done to disable ipv6?

The InfiniBand modules were loading the ipv6 module as a dependency, that way it was being indirectly activated. After uninstalling the RPM and rebooting the machine, it no longer has IPv6 active. If that is not the specific case with you, see in the output of "lsmod" if ipv6 is being used by another module, if that is the case, you can try to see who is pulling that module and try to desactivate that one.
