+- Check that the format of multicast link addresses is correct before taking
+ them from dev->mc_list to priv->multicast_list. This way we never try to
+ send a bogus address to the SA, which prevents badness from erronous
+ 'ip maddr addr add', broken bonding drivers, etc. (bugzilla #1664)
+- IPoIB: Don't turn on carrier for a non-active port.
+ If a bonding interface uses this IPoIB interface as a slave it might
+ not detect that this slave is almost useless and failover
+ functionality will be damaged. The fix checks the state of the IB
+ port in the carrier_task before calling netif_carrier_on(). (bugzilla #1726)
