Hi Chaoyong,

Sorry for the delay, bonding maintainers are cc'ed.

I can see this set adds new bonding specific APIs, instead can't
application (in this case testpmd) call bonding Tx function explicitly
to handle LACP packets?

Or should we have a special forwarding mode for bonding, as we have one
for ICMP echo?
