You're misreading the output. That's what the uml_net helper is doing
on the host (i.e. why would anything be doing a modprobe tun in the
UML?). The host output is captured for debuggability in case
something goes wrong.
A filesystem that automatically brings up a network with access to the
outside world isn't doable. The setup is easier when you put the UML
on the same network as the host, and that information can't be cooked
into the filesystem. Also, there's the requirement that the UML IP
address be unique, which requires some sort of knowledge from outside
the filesystem.
