Again, I undertand your motivation. Yet I don't like your solution.
But if the decision is made to do this in-driver bonding. I would like
to see it baing done some generic way:
1) share the same "in-driver bonding core" code with netvsc
   put to net/core.
2) the "in-driver bonding core" will strictly limit the functionality,
   like active-backup mode only, one vf, one backup, vf netdev type
   check (so noone could enslave a tap or anything else)
If user would need something more, he should employ team/bond.  
Sharing would be good, but netvsc world would really like to only have
one visible network device.
