SRU proposal:

statement explaining the impact: the missing user-space module is needed to more fully protect IPv6 networks.
how the bug has been addressed: module was included in the list of default modules to compile.
patch: see comment 4.
instructions: run the command "sudo ip6tables -A INPUT -m rt --rt-type 0 -j DROP" and observe the missing shared library error.
discussion: currently the "rt" module is not available at all. regressions could exist if a user uses the "rt" module and it causes unexpected behaviors in the presently un-testable "rt" kernel module.
