473c22d759 bridge: Use rcu_barrier() instead of syncronize_net() on unload.
When unloading modules that uses call_rcu() callbacks, then we must
use rcu_barrier().  This module uses syncronize_net() which is not
enough to be sure that all callback has been completed.

da6782927d bridge: Simplify interface for ATM LANE
This patch changes FDB entry check for ATM LANE bridge integration.
There's no point in holding a FDB entry around SKB building.

br_fdb_get()/br_fdb_put() pair are changed into single br_fdb_test_addr()
hook that checks if the addr has FDB entry pointing to other port
to the one the request arrived on.

FDB entry refcounting is removed as it's not used anywhere else.

d69efb1689 bridge: kernel panic when unloading bridge module
There is a race condition when unloading bridge and netfilter.

The problem happens if __fake_rtable is in use by a skb
coming in, while someone starts to unload bridge.ko.
br_netfilter_fini() is called at the beginning of unload
in br_deinit() while skbs still are being forwarded and
transferred to local ip stack. Thus there is a possibility
of the __fake_rtable pointer not being removed in a skb that
goes up to ip stack. This results in a kernel panic, as
ip_rcv() calls the input-function of __fake_rtable, which
is NULL.

Moving the call of br_netfilter_fini() to the end of
br_deinit() solves the problem.

17efdd4575 [BRIDGE]: Lost call to br_fdb_fini() in br_init() error path
In case the br_netfilter_init() (or any subsequent call) 
fails, the br_fdb_fini() must be called to free the allocated

11dc1f36a6 [BRIDGE]: netlink interface for link management
Add basic netlink support to the Ethernet bridge. Including:
 * dump interfaces in bridges
 * monitor link status changes
 * change state of bridge port

For some demo programs see:
	http://developer.osdl.org/shemminger/prototypes/brnl.tar.gz

These are to allow building a daemon that does alternative
implementations of Spanning Tree Protocol.

387e2b0439 [BRIDGE]: need to ref count the LLC sap
Bridge will OOPS on removal if other application has the SAP open.
The bridge SAP might be shared with other usages, so need
to do reference counting on module removal rather than explicit
close/delete.

Since packet might arrive after or during removal, need to clear
the receive function handle, so LLC only hands it to user (if any).

cf0f02d04a [BRIDGE]: use llc for receiving STP packets
Use LLC for the receive path of Spanning Tree Protocol packets.
This allows link local multicast packets to be received by
other protocols (if they care), and uses the existing LLC
code to get STP packets back into bridge code.

The bridge multicast address is also checked, so bridges using
other link local multicast addresses are ignored. This allows
for use of different multicast addresses to define separate STP
domains.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
