Public bug reported:

I noticed this line in the system log after boot:
"May 14 14:41:08 ubuntu kernel: [    8.677878] NET: Registered protocol family 
40"
I tried to find out what protocol that was, and eventually determined that the 
IANA thinks it's the IL protocol, which is deprecated and unusual in any case. 
Protocol number 40 doesn't appear in the expected config or alias files (for 
modprobe in /etc or /etc/modprobe.d/). Enabling a dead protocol without being 
told seems to be a thing an OS shouldn't be doing.

More context for the log line is below:
