Andy Gospodarek bb1d912323 bonding: allow user-controlled output slave selection 
v2: changed bonding module version, modified to apply on top of changes
from previous patch in series, and updated documentation to elaborate on
multiqueue awareness that now exists in bonding driver.

This patch give the user the ability to control the output slave for
round-robin and active-backup bonding.  Similar functionality was
discussed in the past, but Jay Vosburgh indicated he would rather see a
feature like this added to existing modes rather than creating a
completely new mode.  Jay's thoughts as well as Neil's input surrounding
some of the issues with the first implementation pushed us toward a
design that relied on the queue_mapping rather than skb marks.
Round-robin and active-backup modes were chosen as the first users of
this slave selection as they seemed like the most logical choices when
considering a multi-switch environment.

Round-robin mode works without any modification, but active-backup does
require inclusion of the first patch in this series and setting
the 'all_slaves_active' flag.  This will allow reception of unicast traffic on
any of the backup interfaces.

This was tested with IPv4-based filters as well as VLAN-based filters
with good results.

More information as well as a configuration example is available in the
patch to Documentation/networking/bonding.txt.
