Hmm, after reading Andy's comments again, I think his point is
probably bridge has STP management code which makes a difference
with bonding, but you know, we have 802.3ad in bonding too.

Sometimes cscope sucks, especially when you meet function pointers
which are pretty common in net code. When I grep netpoll code, I have to
do `grep ndo_netpoll_setup -nr net/  drivers/net`, if bonding were in net/
`grep -nr net/` is enough. 'netdev_rx_handler_register' too.
