Applied without patches 5 and 6:

- As discussed earlier, patch 5 workaround a missing flag to announce stats
per queue availability.

- Patch 6 introduce a new dependency (ncurses) to build a new bond_rss example.
Examples are useful to show how to use some features. Maybe you can show
bonding RSS in the existing bonding example without adding bells and whistles.
The example directory must be kept reasonnably maintainable.
