	This is already fixed in mainline by:

commit fba4acda35f3119328bcba28aacefae14245d2bb
Author: Jay Vosburgh <fubar@...ibm.com>
Date:   Thu Oct 30 17:41:14 2008 -0700

    bonding: fix miimon failure counter

	Note that the two patches add the increment to different places,
so applying both of them will result in double increments.
