Hi,

unfortunately this does not seem to apply to net-next.
Perhaps it needs to be rebased.

Also.

1. For Networking patches, please include the target tree, in this case
   net-next, as opposed to net, which is for fixes, in the subject.

	Subject: [PATCH net-next] ...

2. Perhaps 'bonding; ' is a more appropriate prefix.
