This patch is certainly aim fix one real issue in ou lab.
For historical inheritance, the bond6 with ipv4 is widely used in our lab.
We started to support ipv6 for all service last year, networking 
operation and maintenance team
think it does work with ipv6 ALB capacity take it for granted due to 
bond6's specification
but it doesn't work in the end. as you know, it is impossible to change 
link neworking to LACP
because of huge cost and effective to online server.
