Subject: Subject: [PATCH 001/001] bonding: add support for netdev link events.

From: Laurent Chavey <chavey@...gle.com>

kernel:2.6.28

Add a netdev link event handler so the bond state machine can react to
link state changes using async netdev events rather than having to
use mii monitor polling.
