    	    bonding: make bonding support netpoll
    
    but it is bad enough that we should probably just disable netpoll over
    bonding until some of the locking logic in the bonding driver is changed
    or converted completely to RCU.  Simple actions like changing the active
    slave in active-backup mode will hang the box if a high enough printk
    debugging level is enabled.
    
    Keeping the old code around will be good for anyone that wants to work
    on it (and for after the RCU conversion), so I propose this small patch
    rather than ripping it all out.
