Subject: [RFC Patch] bonding: move to net/ directory

Hello, Jay, Andy,

Is there any peculiar reason that bonding code has to stay
in drivers/net/ directory?

Since bonding and bridge are somewhat similar, both of
which are used to "bond" two or more devices into one,
and bridge code is already in net/bridge/, so I think it also
makes sense to move bonding code into net/bonding/ too.

This could also help to grep the source more easily. :)

What do you think about the patch below?
(Note, this patch is against net-next-2.6.)

Thanks!
