So, I'm adding some networking cards to my cluster, by adding another 4 port intel to each host. I'll be bonding these 4 together, and making them slaves to the main bridge, vmbr0.

However, I also want to have a seperate management/backup/migration network, to make sure those tasks don't affect network activity for the VM's. These will be on the existing 2 nics, that are also bonded. Currently, they're attached to VMBR0 as well.

Where should I put which set of nics, to allow me a private network for transfer/backup/etc, as well as a seperate network for the vms?

Vlan'ing is not an option at this time, due to switch limitations.
 
Just remove your old bond from vmbr0, and configure it as a standalone interface with an IP address in /etc/network/interfaces
