Subject: [PATCH 2.6.23.12] net/bonding: option to specify initial bond interface number
Allow the user to specify an initial interface number when loading the bonding driver. This is useful when loading multiple instances of the bonding driver and you want to control the interface number assignment. For example, if the user wishes to create a bond5 interface they can type 'modprobe -o bond5 bonding ifnum=5'. It also works with the max_bonds option.
