I've updated wireless code on RHEL and get complain that now
cfg80211 and rfkill modules are loaded on machines that do not have
wireless hardware. Modules are auto-loaded because NetworkManager send
nl80211 messages to check if there are wireless devices in the system.

Hence my question, can we revert commit fb4e156886ce
"nl80211: Add generic netlink module alias for cfg80211/nl80211" ?

Auto loading nl80211 does not seems to be necessary, if there are
wireless devices nl80211 will be loaded anyway.
