	The something else isn't so bad, and would look better for most
callers:

static inline bool bond_uses_primary(struct bonding *bond)
{
	return bond_mode_uses_primary(bond->params.mode);
}

	This ends up replacing "USES_PRIMARY(bond->params.mode)" with
"bond_uses_primary(bond)" for most call sites, which actually looks like
an improvement (it's even shorter).
