For example:
device 1 capability: VLAN_INSERT | MBUF_FAST_FREE
device 2 capability: VLAN_INSERT
And the capability of bonded device will be VLAN_INSERT.
So, we can only set VLAN_INSERT for the bonded device. So what if we want to enable
MBUF_FAST_FREE in device 1 to improve performance? For the application, as long as it
can guarantee the condition of MBUF ref_cnt = 1, then it can run normally if
MBUF_FAST_FREE is turned on.
In my logic, if device 1 has been configured with MBUF_FAST_FREE, and then
added to the bonded device as a slave. The MBUF_FAST_FREE will be reserved.
