Sure. I am working on it now (making ib_ipoib safer to remove before bonding 
does) and
I would be happy to share when I'm done.
However, I think that this is a separate issue and should not prevent from this 
patch to get in.
Don't you agree?

BTW: It is often claimed to module unload is unsafe by definition and is not 
a production issue. Doesn't this claim make the unload issue "less critical"?
