Subject: [PATCH V6 0/9] net/bonding: ADD IPoIB support for the bonding driver

This patch series is the sixth version (see below link to V5) of the 
suggested changes to the bonding driver so it would be able to support 
non ARPHRD_ETHER netdevices for its High-Availability (active-backup) mode. 

Patches 1-8 were originally submitted in V5 and patch 9 is an addition by Jay.

Major changes from the previous version:
----------------------------------------

1. Remove the patches to net/core. Bonding will use the NETDEV_GOING_DOWN notification
   instead of NETDEV_CHANGE+IFF_SLAVE_DETACH. This reduces the amount of patches from 11
   to 9.
