Herbert, i agree with you that userspace is the best spot for this[1];
we unfortunately have precedence already on the kernel sending arps with
bonding when link status changes (that was added recently).
So it sounds reasonable to have this patch in the kernel as well.
Well just because we've made a mistake in the past does not mean
that we should repeat it over and over again.  If we keep doing
this the kernel will soon end up as a whole heap of junk.

Cheers,
