I've opened the bug #931137 [1] directly against kmod.

Following the prompt reply from the maintainer, it would appear that
it's the only way to go.

This is what I'm going to apply to fix the actual issue on my systems.

I'll let you decided if this new override from systemd to dummy and
bonding modules should be mentioned in the release notes.

I would advocate for it since unaware sysadmins (like me) could easly
break their network configuration because of that.

Best,
