Right, xor as a packet hash should be eliminated. It seems possible
that all these modes can be implemented using flow_dissector and the
jhash. If I'm reading the meaning of modes correctly:

BOND_XMIT_POLICY_ENCAP34 is equivalent to skb_get_hash

BOND_XMIT_POLICY_LAYER23 is flow dissection with
FLOW_DISSECTOR_F_STOP_AT_L3 and then normal hash

BOND_XMIT_POLICY_LAYER34 is flow dissection with FLOW_DISSECTOR_F_STOP_AT_ENCAP

BOND_XMIT_POLICY_LAYER2 would be flow dissection with
FLOW_DISSECTOR_F_STOP_AT_L2 (new flag) and then normal hash

BOND_XMIT_POLICY_ENCAP23 is a little more interesting. This could be
accomplished with custom flow dissector targets that exclude L4
information (ports, flow label, key ID).

Also noticed a little bug in flow_dissector, we should get out on
FLOW_DISSECTOR_F_STOP_AT_L3 before IPv6 flow label is processed
(that's considered L4). I'll fix that.
