The kernel bonding layer allows passing an array of ARP IP targets as
bond-configuration. Due to the weird implementation of arrays in netlink
(which we haven't figure out a generic way to support, yet), we usually
hard-code the supported array-sizes. However, this should not be exported
from sd-netlink.
Instead, make sure the caller just uses it's current hack of enumerating
the types, and the sd-netlink core will have it's own list of supported
array-sizes (to be removed in future extensions, btw!). If either does not
match, we will just return a normal error.
Note that we provide 2 constants for ARP_IP_TARGETS_MAX now. However, both
have very different reasons:
- the constant in netdev-bond.c is used to warn the user that the given
number of targets might not be supported by the kernel (even though the
kernel might increase that number at _any_ time)
- the constant in sd-netlink is solely used due to us missing a proper
array implementation. Once that's supported in the type-system, it can
be removed without notice
Last but not least, this patch turns the log_error() into a log_warning().
Given that the previous condition was off-by-one, anyway, it never hit at
the right time. Thus, it was probably of no real use.
The following bond options are supported by this patch.
MIIMonitorSec:
Specifies the frequency in milli-seconds that MII link
monitoring will occur.
UpDelaySec:
Specifies the delay time in milli-seconds to enable a link
after a link up status has been detected.
DownDelaySec:
Specifies the delay time in milli-seconds to disable a link
after a link failure has been detected.

1. Added gconf variables.

option specifies the rate in which link partner to transmit
LACPDU packets in 802.3ad mode. Possible values
slow : Request partner to transmit LACPDUs every 30 seconds
fast : Request partner to transmit LACPDUs every 1 second
The default is slow.
