Subject: [PATCH net-next-2.6 0/3] bonding: TLB / ALB changes

	Note that this patchset is against net-next-2.6 with these
patches from Jiri Pirko already applied:

http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/32684/
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/34272/

	Three patches for bonding:

	Patch 1 changes the tlb/alb algorithm to try and keep hosts
assigned to the same slave during a rebalance.

	Patch 2 synchronizes the rx and tx hash tables, and unifies
their locking.  Periodic rlb rebalance no longer occurs, as both hash
tables are controlled by the transmit side.

	Patch 3 arranges for ARP packets to be sent on a slave that is
appropriate for the destination, instead of always using the same slave
for all ARP traffic.

	A fourth patch has been discussed on the list (to dump the alb
and tlb hash tables); that patch is not being submitted at this time,
and may return in a different form at some point in the future.

	Please apply for net-next-2.6.

	-J
