Changes since v1: - remove "LWTUNNEL_ENCAP_" prefix for the string form of the encaps used when requesting the module to reduce duplication, and don't bother returning strings for lwt modules using netdevices, both suggested by Jiri. - update commit message of first patch to clarify security implications, in response to Eric's comments.
The lwt implementations using net devices can autoload using the existing mechanism using IFLA_INFO_KIND. However, there's no mechanism that lwt modules not using net devices can use. Therefore, these patches add the ability to autoload modules registering lwt operations for lwt implementations not using a net device so that users don't have to manually load the modules.
