This patch series is the fifth version (see below link to V4) of the 
suggested changes to the bonding driver so it would be able to support 
non ARPHRD_ETHER netdevices for its High-Availability (active-backup) mode. 

Patches 1-10 were originally submitted in V4 and patch 11 is an addition by Jay.

Jay,
The bonding patches you acked remain unchanged while I guess I sitll need
to get an official ack by Roland for the IPoIB patches.
Is it OK with you to push the entire series to the networking tree?
Roland has already agreed to do so.


Major changes from the previous version:
----------------------------------------
1. Style changes
2. IPoIB - notify slave detach on vlan delete
3. Add function to net/core for slave detach instead of having it only in
   ib/ipoib
4. IPoIB - handle ib device and bonding device the same way in neigh_cleanup
   function

	Following is patch set to provide IPoIB support for bonding in
active-backup mode.  Patches 1 - 10 were originally posted by Moni Shoua
<monis@voltaire.com>.  The changes look reasonable to me, but others (for
IB and net/core changes) probably need to ack.

	Patch 11 modifies the IB "don't copy MAC to all slaves" code in
bonding to also be optional for ethernet devices; this is occasionally
useful.

Original preface for patches 1 - 10 from Moni Shoua <monis@voltaire.com>:

This patch series is the fourth version (see below link to V3) of the 
suggested changes to the bonding driver so it would be able to support 
non ARPHRD_ETHER netdevices for its High-Availability (active-backup) mode. 

The motivation is to enable the bonding driver on its HA mode to work with
the IP over Infiniband (IPoIB) driver. With these patches I was able to
enslave IPoIB netdevices and run TCP, UDP, IP (UDP) Multicast and ICMP
traffic with fail-over and fail-back working fine. The working environment
was the net-2.6 git.

More over, as IPoIB is also the IB ARP provider for the RDMA CM driver which 
is used by native IB ULPs whose addressing scheme is based on IP (e.g. iSER, 
SDP, Lustre, NFSoRDMA, RDS), bonding support for IPoIB devices **enables** HA 
for these ULPs. This holds as when the ULP is informed by the IB HW on the 
failure of the current IB connection, it just need to reconnect, where the 
bonding device will now issue the IB ARP over the active IPoIB slave. 

This series also includes patches to the IPoIB driver that fix some fix 
some neighboring related issues. 

Major changes from the previous version:

1) Addressing the issue of safety when unloading the IPoIB module before
the bonding module
2) style changes
