.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
In TLB mode all slaves are configured to the bond's hw address, but set
their dev_addr field to different addresses (based on their permanent hw
addresses).
.PP
For each slave, this function sets the interface to the new address and then
changes its dev_addr field to its previous value.
.PP
Unwinding assumes bond's mac address has not yet changed.
