Re: [PATCH] dummy: do not create a link (dummy0) at module init by default

When the dummy network driver is initialized with no parameters, a link

do not create a link upon initialization.

Actually, this is consistent with _other_ virtual network drivers such
as loopback, ifb, and teql, which create a link upon initialization ;-)
