Bug Description

sit0 interface is autocreated by kernel, when the relevant pf net v6 modules are loaded. Which is always true, since linux-kvm has that compiled in yet not configured by the user.

Please make the kernel module option changes, to make sure that this interface is not auto-created by default.

This is a huge problem for netplan with default networkd backend.

As networkd will refuse to configure devices that it did not create, and thus if people do configure (to create) sit0, it will just not work.

This is similar, to e.g. not creating bridge0 interface.
