	To be clear, this specifically affects add/remove of interfaces
to/from the bond via the "slaves" sysfs interface.

	Please update your log to better describe this (that it affects
the sysfs API only) and resubmit.

	I'm sympathetic to the problem this is trying to solve, and the
message shouldn't spam the kernel log particularly, but the commit log
needs to more clearly describe what the problem is and how it's being
fixed.

	Thanks,

	-J
