Bonding device forbids slave device of different types under the same
master.
However, it is possible for a bonding master to change type during its
lifetime. This can be either from ARPHRD_ETHER to ARPHRD_INFINIBAND
or the other way arround. The change of type requires device level
multicast address cleanup because device level multicast addresses
depend on the device type.
The patch adds a call to dev_close() before the bonding master changes
type and dev_open() just after that.
In the example below I enslaved an IPoIB device (ib0) under
bond0. Since each bonding master starts as device of type ARPHRD_ETHER
by default, a change of type occurs when ib0 is enslaved.
This is how /proc/net/dev_mcast looks like without the patch

6 ib0 1 0 00ffffffff12601bffff00000000000000000001
and this is how it looks like after the patch.
