That sounds interesting. I wonder if some specialized type of bonding interface could do the trick. I'd guess you wouldn't need any specific driver support. The bond would just always TX on pair A (with peer TX pair B). I'd ask around on the bonding mailing list (assuming such thing exists) and see if they have any suggestions.
