- moved patch version changes from patches to cover-letter

v2 changes:
in mode 6 patch 2/6:

- fixed sending duplicated ARPupdates
- fixed assigning slaves for next clients
- fixed TLB mode

in debug patch 3/6:
- add IPv4 RX/TX information
- add mode6_debug(..) function

in the example application patch 4/6:
- remove count parameter from send command
- fixed quit command to use cmdline_quit(cl)
- add echo function - all IPv4 packets will be retransmitted. Bonding
	driver will use TLB policy - this will show how TX works in mode 6

- add VLAN support

- nodify show command in term of printing DEBUG informations

This patchset add support for link bonding mode 6.
Additionally it changes an arp_header structure definition.
Also a basic example is introduced. Using this example,
Bonding will configure each client ARP table,
that packets from each client will be received on different slave,
mode 6 uses round-robin policy to assign slave to client IP address.
