Subject: Bonding in active-backup mode with arp monitoring on Xen

Hi.

A little while ago I posted a patch to fix the communication problem
when bonding was used in active-backup mode with arp monitoring on Xen
guest OS.

http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=119362063924723&w=2

I have rebased the patch to the latest 2.6.25-rc7 kernel.

I've confirmed that active-backup mode works fine with arp monitoring
with this patch.

Thanks.
