This wasn't introduced by this patch, but looking at it made me realize that
nt->enabled, if it passes through this code path, doesn't properly track weather
or not netpoll_setup has been called on this interface.  If you look at
drop_netconsole_target, you'll see we only call netpoll_cleanup_target if
nt->enabled is set.  We should probably change the nt->enabled check there, and
in store_enabled to be if (nt->np.dev), like we do in the NETDEV_UNREGISTER case
in netconsole_netdev_event.
Yeah, also note that we can change ->enabled via configfs too.
I guess we probably need to fix this in another patch...
Yeah, or you can roll it into this one, I think this is the only location that
needs fixing.

+#define NETDEV_ENSLAVE		0x0014
Nit:
Shouldn't this be NETDEV_BONDING_ENSLAVE, to keep it in line with
NETDEV_BONDING_DESLAVE above?
Actually that is my first thought, but I plan to use this in bridge
case too, because using netconsole on a device underlying a bridge
makes little sense too. Thus, I prefer NETDEV_ENSLAVE to
NETDEV_BONDING_ENSLAVE.
That seems reasonable, but if its going to be more generic, could you change
NETDEV_BONDING_DESLAVE to NETDEV_DESLAVE?

Other than those two points, this looks good to me
Thanks for review.
Thank you!
