I can quote Jiri Pirko

"""
Do not use tlb or alb in bridge, never! It does not work, that's it. The
reason is it mangles source macs in xmit frames and arps. When it is
possible, just use mode 4 (lacp). That should be always possible because
all enterprise switches support that. Generally, for 99% of use cases,
you *should* use mode 4. There is no reason to use other modes.

The bug referred above intends to make it a bit harder to make this
mistake. But in the good-old Un*x way, oVirt allows you to tweak things
that you actually should not, for fun or research.
