This patch series is the fifth version (see below link to V4) of the 
suggested changes to the bonding driver so it would be able to support 
non ARPHRD_ETHER netdevices for its High-Availability (active-backup) mode. 

Patches 1-10 were originally submitted in V4 and patch 11 is an addition by Jay.

Jay,
The bonding patches you acked remain unchanged while I guess I sitll need
to get an official ack by Roland for the IPoIB patches.
Is it OK with you to push the entire series to the networking tree?
Roland has already agreed to do so.


Major changes from the previous version:
----------------------------------------
1. Style changes
2. IPoIB - notify slave detach on vlan delete
3. Add function to net/core for slave detach instead of having it only in
   ib/ipoib
4. IPoIB - handle ib device and bonding device the same way in neigh_cleanup
   function
