I'm not sure I understand it completely, specifically I don't really
understand the term "isolated routing table". Do you mean that it's an
routing table different from local/main, which is enabled by
CONFIG_IP_MULTIPLE_TABLES=y ? I think they should be all 'catched' by
ip_route_output(), or am I missing something?

Anyway, with this fix bonding will send packets even if it doesn't find
route AND src addr (bond_confirm_addr() can return 0 if bond doesn't have
the required ip assigned), which isn't good at all.

If my assumption about the routing tables is correct and ip_route_output()
doesn't find addition tables, we should at least try to fix it via scanning
those tables.

Sorry if I didn't understand you correctly...
