I really really really did intend to move these deprecated as fast as
possible. This is because these bonding ioctls use SIOCDEVPRIVATE
values.
I don't think it's much of a burdon to remove their existence from
the 2.6.x copy of the driver, and I really wish you guys would do
this because then people would fix their tools.
You can very simply compile a copy of the tool that works with the
non-SIOCDEVPRIVATE ioctls we added to the bonding driver a LONG time
ago and it'll work with 2.4.x as well. It doesn't break because
you made it work with the non-ambiguous ioctl values.
