Subject: [PATCH 0/6] Bonding simplifications and netns support

I recently had it pointed out to me that the bonding driver does not
work in a network namespace.  So I have simplified the bonding driver
a bit, added support for ip link add and ip link del, and finally made
the bonding driver work in multiple network namespaces.

The most note worthy change in the patchset is the addition of support
in the networking core for registering a sysfs group for a device.

Using this in the bonding driver simplifies the code and removes a
userspace race between actions triggered by the netlink event and the
bonding sysfs attributes appearing.
