Thanks for the patch!

However, I'm now running into a new issue. Note that I've backported
this to an older kernel (3.3.2, eww), but I don't *think* that matters
for this. Now I'm getting a "refused to change device type" which
looks like it comes from around here:

                        res = netdev_bonding_change(bond_dev,
                                                    NETDEV_PRE_TYPE_CHANGE);
                        res = notifier_to_errno(res);
                        if (res) {
                                pr_err("%s: refused to change device type\n",
                                       bond_dev->name);

I'm not quite smart enough to figure out what's going on here. FWIW,
looking back in history it looks like the only relevant change from
here to mainline is the replacement of netdev_bonding_change() with
direct calls to call_netdevice_notifiers().

Again, .let me know if more info is needed, and thanks for the quick response!
