Historically in Fedora the /dev/net/tun device always existed, even if
there is no 'tun' module currently loaded. Opening it then cause the
'tun' kernel module to autoload IIUC.

It doesn't just exist..

There is a systemd service (kmod-static-nodes.service) which runs
at boot and generates:

  /run/tmpfiles.d/kmod.conf

Which is then processed by systemd-tmpfiles-setup-dev.service to
create the device nodes.

The actual list comes from "/usr/bin/kmod static-nodes" which
uses the devname and char-major aliases in the module to decide
what device nodes to create.
