That's because you skipped the first patch titled "Don't create
tunnels with '%' in name.", which adds the dev_alloc_name() call
and tosses the error paths a bit. Without this first patch, these
four drivers become broken :( When user doesn't specify the name,
the device's name will be e.g. "tunl%d", but not "tunl0" like
he expects.

Yup :( this code was removed in that first patch...
