Hi,
After above patch:
I have enable BONDING config in .config and dmesg:

[    0.247417] Ethernet Channel Bonding Driver: v3.7.1 (April 27, 2011)

I don't have the HW, so just add printfk in  bond_option_arp_ip_targets_set
However, i don't get what i want to print.
I do the test in qemu-system-x86_64.
I do not know how to hit the driver maybe.
So, not confirmed :(
