   The bonding driver does explicit MOD_INC/DEC even though it does a
   SET_MODULE_OWNER.  So it doesn't changes module use counts on
   open/close on 2.5 when it shouldn't.  It also has a /proc entry
   which does not affect the module use counts when it should.
   
Applied, thanks Stephen.

   Suggestion: the /proc interface could/should be converted to seq_file.
   Volunteers? Janitor project?
   
There is a bonding maintainer, maybe that'd be the best bet :-)
