The Makefile controlling compilation of this file is obj-y, meaning that it currently is never being built as a module.
Since MODULE_ALIAS is a no-op for non-modular code, we can simply remove the MODULE_ALIAS_NETPROTO variant used here. We replace module.h with kmod.h since the file does make use of request_module() in order to load other modules from here. We don't have to worry about init.h coming in via the removed module.h since the file explicitly includes init.h already. Cc: "David S.
