I verified that this approach also solves my original problem (moving
a macvlan on top of a bonding device to a different namespace).
I do not know how to fully test it with different types of lower
devices and features though.
If anybody wants to take the lead on this it would be great. Otherwise
a more limited patch only clearing the  NETIF_F_NETNS_LOCAL bit was
also submitted earlier
(http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=141097807310566&w=2).

Thanks,
Francesco
