i took a quick look at this a little while ago (admittedly with gen1 
IPoIB) and when trying to enslave the ib0, ib1 interfaces the bonding 
driver complains about an unsupported ioctl. i didn't have any time to 
track it down much further than that. if there's some interest i could 
take a bit more of a look at it.
