Mike,

Erik and I were talking about having multiple -p
flags to our *adm commands, and Erik pointed out
that this may not be a good idea because it complicates
error-cases. e.g., if I do

  dladm set-linkprop -p p1=v1 -p badprop=badval -p p3=v3 link0

and "p1=v1" and "p3=v3" are syntactically correct,
what is the error code ($?) returned to the shell after your
fix for 6601421? And if $? is non-zero, are p1 and p3 set to v1 and v3?

Note that Girish and I tried this with zfs.. it would set as much
as it can, and also return an error code, which is confusing.
