	Is 31e77c93e432 the correct commit reference?  I don't see
anything in there about IFF_SLAVE or bonding; it's a patch to the
process scheduler.

	And, as Jiri said, the subject doesn't mention bonding.

	Note that netvsc_vf_join() also uses IFF_SLAVE in order skip
IPv6 addrconf for netvsc devices; I don't believe its usage will pass
netif_is_lag_port().  It looks like the above will work, but your commit
message mentions eql as the reason for retaining the IFF_SLAVE test, and
eql isn't the only user of IFF_SLAVE in this manner.
