I'm not sure this entirely makes sense.  If all slaves had been
removed, then we should never end up in ipoib_hard_header.  That should
only be called as long as there is at least one slave still attached to
the bond.  It might be during the process of removing the final slave,
but I don't think it can be after the final slave has been fully
removed from the bond.  Paolo, what should the bond driver be doing
once the slaves are gone?  Wouldn't it just be dropping every skb on
the floor without calling anyone's hard header routine?
