Seeing as how this is a short coming of the switch I don't think that
having the Linux box solve this on layer 3 will do any good. Mainly
this is because the switch that the Linux box is connected to will still
only use one of the ports in the EtherChannel group to send the traffic
out, thus yielding a drop in throughput no matter what.
In short, I think you are going to have to solve your switch(s) Layer 2
problem before you do any thing else. Sorry. :(
