This just confirms my reasoning behind why I wanted to discourage
drivers from providing explicit ->ndo_select_queue() methods unless
absolutely necessary.

Information now gets lost in cases like this bonding issue.

Bonding should definitely, as I suggested, remember the original
rxhash value and restore it when sending to the slave.
