automount: open_lookup:90: cannot open lookup module dir (/usr/lib64/autofs/lookup_dir.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)

Issue

With autofs in RHEL 7 you can use the auto.master.d directory to split out the master map, with the following line added to /etc/auto.master:
```
+dir:/etc/auto.master.d
```
On RHEL 6, we would like to do the same, but when reloading autofs and trying to access the shares listed in a file in auto.master.d, this appears in the messages file:
```
automount[23966]: open_lookup:90: cannot open lookup module dir (/usr/lib64/autofs/lookup_dir.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
```
yum provides "*/lookup_dir.so" returns nothing
