This patch adds the necessary changes so fail_over_mac would use
the new bonding option API. Also fixes a trivial copy/paste error in
bond_check_params where the wrong variable was used for the error msg.

This patch makes the bond's mode setting use the new option API and
adds support for dependency printing which relies on having an entry for
the mode option in the bond_opts[] array.
Also add the ability to print the mode name when mode dependency fails
and fix some trivial/style errors.

This patch adds the necessary basic infrastructure to support
centralized and unified option manipulation API for the bonding. The new
structure bond_option will be used to describe each option with its
dependencies on modes which will be checked automatically thus removing a
lot of duplicated code. Also automatic range checking is added for
some options. Currently the option setting function requires RTNL to
be acquired prior to calling it, since many options already rely on RTNL
it seemed like the best choice to protect all against common race
conditions.
In order to add an option the following steps need to be done:
1. Add an entry BOND_OPT_<option> to bond_options.h so it gets a unique id
and a bit corresponding to the id
2. Add a bond_option entry to the bond_opts[] array in bond_options.c which
describes the option, its dependencies and its manipulation function
3. Add code to export the option through sysfs and/or as a module parameter
(the sysfs export will be made automatically in the future)
The options can have different flags set, currently the following are
supported:
BOND_OPTFLAG_NOSLAVES - require that the bond device has no slaves prior
to setting the option
BOND_OPTFLAG_IFDOWN - require that the bond device is down prior to
setting the option
BOND_OPTFLAG_RAWVAL - don't parse the value but return it raw for the
option to parse
There's a new value structure to describe different types of values
which can have the following flags:
BOND_VALFLAG_DEFAULT - marks the default option (permanent string alias
to this option is "default")
BOND_VALFLAG_MIN - the minimum value that this option can have
BOND_VALFLAG_MAX - the maximum value that this option can have
An example would be nice here, so if we have an option which can have
the values "off"(2), "special"(4, default) and supports a range, say
16 - 32, it should be defined as follows:
"off", 2,
"special", 4, BOND_VALFLAG_DEFAULT,
"rangemin", 16, BOND_VALFLAG_MIN,
"rangemax", 32, BOND_VALFLAG_MAX
So we have the valid intervals: [2, 2], [4, 4], [16, 32]
Also the valid strings: "off" = 2, "special" and "default" = 4
"rangemin" = 16, "rangemax" = 32
BOND_VALFLAG_(MIN|MAX) can be used to specify a valid range for an
option, if MIN is omitted then 0 is considered as a minimum. If an
exact match is found in the values[] table it will be returned,
otherwise the range is tried (if available).
The option parameter passing is done by using a special structure called
bond_opt_value which can take either a string or a value to parse. One
of the bond_opt_init(val|str) macros should be used depending on which
one does the user want to parse (string or value). Then a call to
__bond_opt_set should be done under RTNL.
