The way it is currently written you still need to call 
bond_3ad_initialize() just not for setting the tick resolution. The 
issue here is ad_ticks_per_sec is used in several places to calculate 
timer periods, __ad_timer_to_ticks(), for various timers in the 802.3ad 
protocol. And if this variable, ad_ticks_per_sec, is left uninitialized 
all of these timer periods go to zero. Since the value passed in 
bond_3ad_initialize() is an immediate value I simply moved it off of the 
call stack and set the static global variable instead.

To fix bond_3ad_initialize(), probably something like the below is 
needed, but I do not understand why the guard if check was placed in 
bond_3ad_initialize().
