EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() for all device/sysfs related stuff.

Also, need some way to BUG() if this is done after device has
been registered.  

Another way to add sub-directories which is what bridge, bonding,
and others do is to use another kobject. I think this is what you
want for the case of two CAN objects under one netdevice.
