I also reviewed this patch before.
The 'direct' mode is just to let the packets from one port send out at 
the same port.
It doesn't seem to have anything to do with bonding, because application 
also can do it.
In addition, it is not a well-known bonding mode and has no plan on 
Linux kernel.
If it is needed, I agree with Stephen's proposal that using transmit 
policy callback.
