commit 26c3b6780618f09abb5f7e03b09b13dbb8e8aa24
Author: Scott James Remnant <scott@canonical.com>
Date:   Mon Mar 16 15:30:14 2009 +0100

    netfilter: auto-load ip6_queue module when socket opened
    
    The ip6_queue module is missing the net-pf-16-proto-13 alias that would
    cause it to be auto-loaded when a socket of that type is opened.  This
    patch adds the alias.
