That didn't do it.. I applied it to 2.6.27.19 but it didnt make that work.
dmesg | grep bond (2.6.27.19 + above patch).

[   13.643301] bonding: MII link monitoring set to 100 ms

dmesg | grep bond (2.6.29-rc6)

$ ssh quad02 dmesg | grep bond

I just tested 2.6.28.7.. it still broken. So the fix probably has to be 
somewhere in the post 2.6.28 sets.
