Cover letter [PATCH 0/2] Bonding: fix IPv6 module requirement regression
These patches fix the Bonding module's requirement to have the IPv6 module loaded and configured by creating a new "disable" module parameter value for ipv6.ko. This allows users who do not want any IPv6 addresses or sockets to be created to disable IPv6 support, while still loading the module and making it's symbols available. This can be specified in /etc/modprobe.conf (or similar) with "options ipv6 disable=1".
I've verified that Bonding, SCTP, Sunrpc and DCCP will still load, however dccp_ipv6 will not load when disable=1 - I believe this is ok as IPv6 won't work anyways.
