Yes, that's intentional. It gives the driver choice about which links to
activate; first of all because we don't have interface/link combinations
stuff yet (waiting for your side on that), and secondly because we might
very well (want to) negotiate more links than we can concurrently have
active, e.g. a NIC that can have two active might still want to
negotiate four and switch dynamically.

Correct.

Right.

Yes. I have patches pending to add API that the driver can call to pick
the active links (as a bitmap).

I'll send it out when I can, likely tomorrow.
