For IPoIB, though, there is some extra initialization stuff in
bond_setup_by_slave(), and the hard_header_len will end up being set to
something different from the usual Ethernet value.
In looking at ipoib_setup, I see that hard_header_len appears to
be set to 4 (IPOIB_ENCAP_LEN). My recollection was that the IPoIB
hard_header_len was quite a bit larger than that; it looks like it
changed very recently from IPOIB_ENCAP_LEN + INFINIBAND_ALEN to what it
is now:

IPoIB: Stop lying about hard_header_len and use skb->cb to stash LL
addresses
[ Upstream commit 936d7de3d736e0737542641269436f4b5968e9ef ]
Commit a0417fa3a18a ("net: Make qdisc_skb_cb upper size bound
explicit.") made it possible for a netdev driver to use skb->cb
between its header_ops.create method and its .ndo_start_xmit
method. Use this in ipoib_hard_header() to stash away the LL address
(GID + QPN), instead of the "ipoib_pseudoheader" hack. This allows
IPoIB to stop lying about its hard_header_len, which will let us fix
the L2 check for GRO.
I don't know if this change could be causing the problem (it
appears to be new in 3.2.9), but the hard_header_len is one of the few
areas in the TX path of bonding that IPoIB ends up being different from
regular Ethernet.
