Joe, Harvey

One thing which I'd like to find an easy way to get rid of, is the wrong 
printing of IPoIB devices HW address under bonding. The bonding driver 
uses the DECLARE_MAC_BUF and print_mac() way so a possible solution 
would be to enhance this two to work with variable HW address lengths, 
but this would have the price of changing the 600 or so references to 
print_mac in the code, etc. A possible solution would be to just change 
the bonding driver to use some other macro/api, but I believe that the 
posted patches
could not serve for that purpose as is, since the IPoIB HW address is 
actually more then a GID, its 20 bytes whose lower 16 are a GID. 
Printing only the GID portion of the HW address would be better then the 
current situation, so we can take that approach as well.
