Subject: [PATCH] Experimental new bonding driver mode=batman

Hello,

I've written a new mode for the kernel bonding driver.  It's similar to
the round-robin mode, but it keeps statistics on TCP resends so as to
favor slave devices with more bandwidth when choosing where to send
packets.  I've tested it on two laptops using WiFi/Ethernet and it seems
to work okay, but it should be considered experimental.

Still, it should be safe to apply this patch as it doesn't do anything
unless you specify "mode=batman" on the driver command line.
