The bonding driver is multiqueue enabled, in which each queue represents a slave to enable optional steering of output frames to given slaves against the default output policy. However, it needs to reset the skb->queue_mapping prior to queuing to the physical device or the physical slave (if it is multiqueue) could wind up transmitting on an unintended tx queue Change Notes: v2) Based on first pass review, updated the patch to restore the origional queue mapping that was found in bond_select_queue, rather than simply resetting to zero. This preserves the value of queue_mapping when it was set on receive in the forwarding case which is desireable.

This is throwing away the top 8 bits. It's unlikely to hurt in practice, but queue numbers are currently 16-bit and we already have hardware with >256 queues (even though we don't currently expose them all to the kernel). Please use ((u16 *)skb->cb)[0]. Ben.
