Hi,
It would seem you keep adding modes for each field, that seems unnecessary to me and
it also affects the fast path - each new mode you add is another 1+ tests in bond's
fast path. You could instead just add 1 new mode which has configurable hash fields,
take the "hit" for it once in the fast-path (if chosen) and use that.
I'd like to avoid tomorrow getting another "dstmac" mode or something like that.

In fact both of these new modes are unnecessary in most cases, you could use any available method
(e.g. ebpf) to compute and set the skb queue mapping on Tx to choose any slave and that would
override any hash or bond mode. Check __bond_start_xmit() -> bond_slave_override()

Cheers,
Nik
