[ewg] [PATCH] document limitation of the persistent bonding configuration

[Or Gerlitz]

The mechanism for persistent bonding configuration under OFED 1.2 does
not let one to use bonds containing special chars such as '.' or '-'.

This patch documents this and also provide an example of using a
bond that enslaves child interfaces.

 Notes:
 * The ib-bonding driver does not load when the HA service is configured to load
 * If the bondX name is defined but one of bondX_SLAVES or bondX_IPs is missing,
   then that specific bond will not be created.
+* The bondX name must not contain characters which are disallowed for bash
+  variable names such as '.' and '-'
