Patch 1: fix device name allocation error
Patch 2: fix error check in sysfs creation
Patch 3: modify sysfs support to permit multiple loads
Patch 4: update version number
This patch series should resolve whatever problems there are
with the logic to load the module multiple times. This code changed
during the introduction of sysfs, and some recent tightening of the
sysfs creation code (checking for duplicates) broke that.
The multiple load logic is used primarily by the initscripts and
sysconfig packages, to automatically configure multiple bonding
interfaces at boot time.
Originally reported by Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>.
Patches generated against netdev-2.6 (hope that's ok).
