I don't know what you mean by "provisioning profile", but my wifes 
unlocked iPhone6+ received an update to her carrier profile with iOS 8.3 
and it used the IPv4v6 APN just fine without any kind of user 
intervention.

Well, the major thing here is Apple controls and approves the profile, not 
the carrier. There are plenty of carriers who are interested but who have 
to convince Apple to get changes done.
