Lag support for Linux hosts

[jbemmel]

Many production servers have redundant links with bonds on them. While it is good to keep the linux device simple, I would like to add lag support so I can use plain linux devices to model servers in our network

Any opinions/objections?

Go for it, makes perfect sense.

I like the idea.

For years I have used link aggregations on my linux laptop, so its not only useful on servers. Its my preferred way to handle Ethernet / wireless fail-overs. Everything is flawless as a single IP is assigned on the bond interface.
