[PATCH] bonding: rlb mode of bond should not alter ARP replies originating via bridge

From: Zheng Li <hidden>
Date: 2012-11-12 09:52:31

ARP traffic passing through a bridge and out via the bond (when the bond is a 
port of the bridge) should not have its source MAC address adjusted by the 
receive load balance code in rlb_arp_xmit.

	This should go in bonding.h as a static line, so that other
parts of bonding can use it in the future.  I'll also point out that
this function is one I suggested in a prior email, but did not test.
Presumably you've tested this.

	This does not need to be initialized, as the next line of code
assigns a value to it.
