I don't like how you have to explicitly load the congestion control
module before asking for it to be used in the route entry metric.

It should request the module automatically just like the stack already
does for other cases.

You have run into this problem as a result of your design decision to
use that 32-bit key.  Therefore, I think you seriously need to
reconsider that aspect of your change.
