Hi Jiri,

Why did you add another level of function nesting (bond_add_slave() and bond_del_slave()) instead of 
using bond_enslave() and bond_release() directly in the structure below ?

The function prototypes are identical.

Or may be, rename bond_enslave() to bond_add_slave() and bond_release() to bond_del_slave(), for 
consistency.

	Nicolas.
