I'm pretty sure it does ;-)

   CC [M]  net/mpls/af_mpls.o
   LD [M]  net/mpls/mpls_router.o
   Building modules, stage 2.
   MODPOST 3010 modules
   LD [M]  net/mpls/mpls_router.ko

I deliberately split out the makefile rules so that the would be named 
mpls_router, rather than af_mpls to avoid any potential confusion with 
the mpls_gso module.

Thanks,
Rob
