Think there are work being done on the topic? However, how are you
going to interconnect all of this private peerings? It sort of imply
that everyone need to have their own netblock they can exchange with
others.

Mobile IPv6 gives one way to run multiple devices in one subnet. Someone needs 
to be the HA though. And/or if future homes have multiple /64's, it's not 
infeasible to dedicate one or more to virtual/overlay LANs.
