Is your link partner for the host configured for bonding as well, if so what type of bonding? Are you doing load balancing or failover? I suspect the problem is that whatever you have as a link partner it would need to _NOT_ be configured for bonding in order for the VF to function correctly in your setup. The problem would be that the link partner could return replies on either NIC 2 or NIC 5 since they are in the bond so as a result you have at least a 50% chance of any incoming traffic being missed. An alternative you might consider would be to assign a VF on NIC 2 to the same guest and bond it in the same way inside of the guest. As long as the bond functions for the guest (meaning you have to have the same MAC address for the VFs on both NIC 2 and NIC 5) then it should work as you would have both possible receive paths covered.
