Yes, it appears you're right. I had only tested on ARM. In that case,
perhaps it make sense to instead set this to m in the arm64 defconfig, to
preserve the previous situation, but I can also see the value in
reducing platform discongruity by letting it change to y on arm64 too.

Changing it on arm64 defconfig would make sense to me too. We should
probably visit other configs that might be in the same situation. That
in my opinion would qualify a net tree fix as you proposed initially.

Right. I think the fix as posted makes sense. Tunnel drivers should
be =m. If other arches default to =y that's likely an oversight.
Fedora and I suspect all other distros (and "prod kernels") set SIT=m.


Yes. I checked and every distro I saw is setting this. This make sense, thanks Jakub.
