Subject: 2.6.33-rc3-mmotm0106 BUG during modprobe at system shutdown

Not sure why it was trying to modprobe on the way down during a 'shutdown -r'.
My guess is that it had turned off IPv6 on the network interfaces, then something
referenced an IPv6 address, and it tried to do a 6in4 tunnel as a last-ditch
effort to save the day.  I think I've triggered this before, but this was
the first one I've had a saved syslog capturing it.

Dunno if it's a network ipv6/sit issue or a sysfs issue, so we'll throw
it at the wall and see what sticks...
