No functional change intended, aliases will be used in followup commits.
Note for backporters: you may need to add aliases also for modules that
are already removed in mainline kernel but still in your version.
Patches were generated with the help of Coccinelle scripts like:
cat >scripts/coccinelle/misc/tcf_alias.cocci <<EOD
virtual patch
virtual report
@ haskernel @
@@
@ tcf_has_kind depends on report && haskernel @
identifier ops;
constant K;

...
};
+char module_alias = K;

sed 's/char module_alias = "\([^"]*\)";/MODULE_ALIAS_NET_CLS("\1");/'
And analogously for:
static struct tc_action_ops ops = {
.kind = K,
static struct Qdisc_ops ops = {
.id = K,
(Someone familiar would be able to fit those into one .cocci file
without sed post processing.)

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
