drivers/net/iseries_veth.c dubious sysfs usage

In doing a massive kobject cleanup of the kernel tree, I ran across the iseries_veth.c driver. It looks like the driver is creating a number of subdirectories under the driver sysfs directory. This is odd and probably wrong. You want these virtual connections to show up in the main sysfs device
