There was a reorganization in Tramp 2.2. Method depending packages, like
tramp-sh.el or tramp-smb.el, are loaded only when the corresponding
method is used the first time.

I've added the tramp-autoload cookie to the initialisation code of
`tramp-default-user-alist' and `tramp-default-method-alist' in those
Tramp packages. By this, both variables shall be initialized as before
after loading tramp.el.
