Hey Breno, thanks for checking in. I've had the functional revisions
(removal of configfs interface) done for some time now, but haven't had
the time to figure out testing - last I checked, it would require a fair
bit of refactoring in libnetcons.sh since we'd have to use the module
parameter interface instead of configfs.

Perhaps it would be okay to merge the functional change first, then
follow up with test later? I'll try to clean up what I have, get a round
of manual testing in, and post it soon.
