[PATCH 1/2] [bonding 2.6] Restore missing backward compatibility

[Amir Noam <amir.noam@intel.com>]

This patch (against latest 2.6.0) is also waiting for almost a month.
It's already in 2.4 but is still very much needed for 2.6.

Old ifenslave versions (like the one in Red Hat 9) don't work with
the bonding module in the latest 2.6 kernel without it.
