    bonding: Allow setting max_bonds to zero · b8a9787e
    Jay Vosburgh authored
    
    
    	Permit bonding to function rationally if max_bonds is set to
    zero.  This will load the module, but create no master devices (which can
    be created via sysfs).
    
    	Requires some change to bond_create_sysfs; currently, the
    netdev sysfs directory is determined from the first bonding device created,
    but this is no longer possible.  Instead, an interface from net/core is
    created to create and destroy files in net_class.
    
    	Based on a patch submitted by Phil Oester <kernel@linuxaces.com>.
    Modified by Jay Vosburgh to fix the sysfs issue mentioned above and to
    update the documentation.
