how to extend bond device features to support tunneling offloads

how to extend bond device features to support tunneling offloads

[Or Gerlitz]

So we realized that when bonding is used, the TX path of the IP stack 
above becomes blind to whether the
underlying NIC supports tunneling offloads :(

In a slightly different context, this is addressed for veth in commit 
82d8189 "veth: extend features to support tunneling"  -- now, doing 
quick test with the below RFC patch, I have VXLAN traffic over bonding 
to go through HW LSO where w.o the patch it doesn't.

Do people think bonding needs to recompute the tunneling related 
features (e.g @ hw_features andhw_enc_features) each time the active 
slave changes or we can blindly (...) do it when the bond device is 
being setup in a similar manner to how Eric's patch goes?

Or.
