The kernel should already handle options for compiled-in
modules. For bonding, you'd put something like "bonding.max_bonds=3" on
the kernel boot line. No need to patch bonding for this. This is
described in Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt (right at the top).
On your other patch, I don't see a big issue with allowing
max_bonds to be zero; I'll have a look at the details and test it out.
