What about  MODULE_ALIAS("xfrm-type-10-60") 
and MODULE_ALIAS("xfrm-type-10-43") in mip6.c ?

The aliases in modprobe.conf(5) should not be necessary then.

If you are really ambitious you can even define a 
MODULE_ALIAS_XFRM_TYPE macro in include/net/xfrm.h
simliar to to MODULE_ALIAS_XFRM_MODE.

Please be sure to discuss CC Herbert Xu then.
