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. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
