Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 0/8] bonding: add more netlink attributes

v2:

Addressed v1 review comments.  In particular, Jay's concern about
current sysfs ordering limitations carrying over to iproute.  Netlink
attributes are processed in a priority order in
bond_netlink.c:bond_changelink().  Lower priority attributes can't undo
higher priority attributes when attempting to set both with iproute
command.  For example, this command will fail:

  ip link add bond1 type bond mode active-backup miimon 10 arp_interval 10

Because we're trying to create a new bond to use incompatible miimon
and ARP interval attributes.  However, if attributes are applied
one-at-a-time, previously applied attributes can be overridden:

  ip link add bond1 type bond mode active-backup miimon 10
  ip link set dev bond1 type bond arp_interval 10

These two commands succeed.  The bond is first created to use miimon.
Next, the bond is converted to use ARP interval, which undoes miimon.

v1:

Following Jiri Pirko's lead, add more bonding netlink attributes.  Sending
matching iproute2 patch separately.  sysfs access to attributes is
retained.
