8531c5ffbc [PATCH] bonding: inherit zero-copy flags of slaves
This change allows a bonding device to inherit the "zero-copy"
features of its slave devices.

It was inspired by a couple of previous postings on this topic:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=bonding-devel&m=111924607327794&w=2
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=bonding-devel&m=111925242706297&w=2
and it's largely a combination of the patches that appear in those
emails.

6b38aefe92 [PATCH] bonding: ALB -- allow slave to use bond's MAC address if its own MAC address conflicts
In ALB mode, allow new slave to use bond's MAC address if the new
slave's MAC address is being used within the bond and no other slave
is using the bond's MAC address.

169a3e6663 bonding: xor/802.3ad improved slave hash
Add support for alternate slave selection algorithms to bonding
balance-xor and 802.3ad modes.  Default mode (what we have now: xor of
MAC addresses) is "layer2", new choice is "layer3+4", using IP and port
information for hashing to select peer.

Originally submitted by Jason Gabler for balance-xor mode;
modified by Jay Vosburgh to additionally support 802.3ad mode.  Jason's
original comment is as follows:

The attached patch to the Linux Etherchannel Bonding driver modifies the
driver's "balance-xor" mode as follows:

      - alternate hashing policy support for mode 2
        * Added kernel parameter "xmit_policy" to allow the specification
          of different hashing policies for mode 2.  The original mode 2
          policy is the default, now found in xmit_hash_policy_layer2().
        * Added xmit_hash_policy_layer34()

This patch was inspired by hashing policies implemented by Cisco,
Foundry and IBM, which are explained in
Foundry documentation found at:

c3ade5cad0 bonding: gratuitous ARP
Add support for generating gratuitous ARPs in bonding
active-backup mode when failovers occur.  Includes support for VLAN
tagging the ARPs as needed.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
