The patch in question here is in net-next; the commit is:

commit 567b871e503316b0927e54a3d7c86d50b722d955
Author: zheng.li <zheng.x.li@oracle.com>
Date: Tue Nov 27 23:57:04 2012 +0000

bonding: rlb mode of bond should not alter ARP originating via bridge


The additional change in the backport from Matthew O'Connor (to
add ether_addr_equal_64bits) appears to still be necessary for 3.4.46.
Alternatively, the patch could utilize ether_addr_equal instead, to
minimize the change set. Greg, do you have a preference there?

Submissions for stable from networking normally go through
Davem; I can check the patch and repost it to netdev against 3.4.46 if
everybody is ok with that.
