Keep your bonding as it is.
Forget about conventional Linux bridges, and do not use them ever.
Reconfigure your virtual machines to use macvtap (like suggested here -
[1]), you'll need 'bridge' mode.

Thanks Reco. I just went to my server's site (I lost remote access with
the current network setup) and reconfigured the network to use macvtap
for bridge. Once I did that it worked like a charm.
After getting rid of the /etc/network/interfaces file (again) and
reinstating the [network] section of my
/etc/systermd/network/management.xml file to assign a static IP, all I
had to do was use
virsh edit <servername>
to modify the network settings. Basically I changed the entire network
interface segment to:
<interface type='direct'>
<mac address='xx:x:xx:xx:xx:xx'/>
<source dev='bond0' mode='bridge'/>
</interface>
where you would replace the "xx" with a valid mac address. When I opened
the virtual machine using the Virtual Machine Manager gui, I noticed it
wanted to use an rtl8139 device for the nic, so I changed that to virtio
then fired it up.
Everything is running great. I've got the remote access back and the
local area network is behaving itself.
