You're not blind :). The MODULE_ALIAS_NET_PF_PROTO_TYPE(...) is indeed
wrong. Auto-loading the l2tp_ip and l2tp_ip6 modules only worked
because of the extra MODULE_ALIAS_NET_PF_PROTO() declaration (as
inet_create() and inet6_create() fallback to "net-pf-%d-proto-%d" if
"net-pf-%d-proto-%d-type-%d" fails).
