There are three layers of modules required for rpcsec_gss to work:
auth_gss, a mechanism (rpcsec_gss_krb5), and then any crypto algorithms.
We autoload all of those except rpcsec_gss_krb5.
Objections?
(I suppose another option would be to get rid of the gss mechanism layer
entirely, now that we've only got one of them. But I'd rather keep it.)

Is there any reason we don't do this for the auth modules, and the pnfs
layout modules? Seems silly to wait for distro's to add it to
modprobe.conf if we don't need to.

I recall a discussion at connectaton 2010, where Peter Staubach from
RedHat ( at that time )
requested a way to disable pNFS without rebuilding the kernel.
Probably that's why autoload is not implemented.

Well, autoload *is* implemented, you just have to add an alias command
to modprobe.conf before it'll work.
And if we embed the alias in the module instead, it will still be
possible to disable autloading by adding a "backlist <modulename>" to
modproble.conf.
So I don't *think* that's the issue, unless I've missed something.

So can we just do this? (Untested.)

Looks like it needs a number; see the request_module() call in
set_pnfs_layoutdriver:
request_module("%s-%u", LAYOUT_NFSV4_1_MODULE_PREFIX, id);

The title of the thread is "autoload rpcsec_gss_krb5", but the above
patch only deals with layouts.
Now I'm all confused...
