Driver: add driver_add_kobj for looney iseries_veth driver
The iseries driver wants to hang kobjects off of its driver, so, to preserve backwards compatibility, we need to add a call to the driver core to allow future changes to work properly. Hopefully no one uses this function in the future and the iseries_veth driver authors come to their senses so I can remove this hack...
