gre: add module alias for gre0 tunnel device
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
If gre is built as a module the 'ip tunnel add' command would fail because
the ip_gre module was not being autoloaded.  Adding an alias for
the gre0 device name cause dev_load() to autoload it when needed.
