Unfortunately the mode and xmit_policy options of the bonding driver
are module params, so it'll need to be a module so the different modes
can be tested. I already modified vmtest.sh [1] to "make
module_install" into the rootfs and enable the bonding module via
scripts/config, but a cleaner approach would probably be to, as you
suggested, update latest.config in libbpf repo and probably get the
"modules_install" change into vmtest.sh separately (if you're happy
with this approach). What do you think?
