Ok, I see what the problem is; it's got to do with out device
creation was changed at some point for the sysfs stuff that broke the
multiple load logic. I don't think it has to do with the sysfs_add_file
duplicate check business; I can see the error in how bond_create() is
called in the new (post-sysfs) stuff, although I haven't tracked it down
to a particular changeset.
There'a also a separate error handling bug I see in
bond_create() that I don't even get to because it bails out first.
Anyway, let me see what I can work out to fix this up.
