Replace bond, team, and interface probing with netlink scanning. This enables improved support for bonds, bridges, and VLANS:

  • Support bridges including over bonds in a similar way to LACP bonds.
  • Support MACVLANs when timestamping is enabled in the host netns.
  • Allow a bond, bridge, or VLAN to be specified for the freerun clock.
Note: All options for hotplug_detection_mode other than the synonyms auto and netlink are now redundant and ignored. None of the old modes has any benefit over the new netlink implementation, which eliminates many system calls.
