primary

	A string (eth0, eth2, etc) specifying which slave is the
	primary device.  The specified device will always be the
	active slave while it is available.  Only when the primary is
	off-line will alternate devices be used.  This is useful when
	one slave is preferred over another, e.g., when one slave has
	higher throughput than another.

	The primary option is only valid for active-backup(1),
	balance-tlb (5) and balance-alb (6) mode.

A check should be added to only allow setting primary on active-backup, balance-tlb and balance-alb but I'm not sure how.
