This patch adds helpers to traverse the lower dev lists, these
helpers match the upper dev list implementation.

VSI implementers may use these to track a list of connected netdevs.
This is easier then having drivers do their own accounting.
Just as a note (as I have quite no idea how ixgbe works) - you are aware
that the upper/lower lists currently include *all* upper/lower devices, and
not only the first-connected ones?

I've seen that you usually verify it, however not always, just a heads-up -
sorry if misread.

I'm also currently trying to get the new patchset included - which would
split the first-tier connected devices from all the 'other' (as in - lower
of a lower and upper of an upper) devices, so that way, I think, it would
be easier/faster for you to use it. It also has a ->private field, easily
accessible, which you could have used instead of/in conjunction with/for
struct ixgbe_vsi_adapter.

[PATCH v2 net-next 00/27] bonding: use neighbours instead of own lists

Here's the patchset.

Hope that helps.
