This breaks for many of the tunneling protocols, that rely on
autoload for names like "sit0"

Frankly I'm very disappointed in the fallout this has been causing.

Everyone supporting this change, get real, and admit it doing in fact
cause a serious regression.

If you can't get past that simple fact, you cannot discuss this issue
intelligently.

You can't say "userland will fix things up"

Because we're never supposed to break userland in the first place.

There is simply no excuse for this and I want this change reverted
both in Linus's tree and in -stable.

Ok, as I totally got lost in the thread here, what is the git commit id
of the patch to revert?

thanks,
