	The point was that pktgen disallows ARPHRD_INFINIBAND, not that
bonding does.

	Pktgen specifically checks for type != ARPHRD_ETHER, so the
IPoIB bond should not be able to be used with pkgten.  My suspicion is
that pktgen is being configured on the bond first, then an IPoIB slave
is added to the bond; this would change its type in a way that pktgen
wouldn't notice.
