[PATCH net-next 1/3] l2tp: auto load type modules

[Stephen Hemminger <stephen@networkplumber.org>]

[-- Attachment #1: l2tp-eth-alias.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1979 bytes --]

It should not be necessary to do explicit module loading when
configuring L2TP. Modules should be loaded as needed instead
(as is done already with netlink and other tunnel types).

This patch adds a new module alias type and code to load
the sub module on demand.
