Subject: Re: [PATCH] convering bonding driver /proc interface 
to seq_file

Using a pointer with seq_file was really easy.

		seq->private = PDE(inode)->data;

Yes, but PDE(inode) does not exist in 2.4 yet, and we wanted
to achieve compatibility between bonding in 2.6 and 2.4 first
so we may then update 2.6 bonding which is too far behind
what's in 2.4 bonding. Once this is done it will be possible
to develop on 2.6, and back port into 2.4 from time to time.
