The following series is a submission for net-next to allow
embedded switches and other stacked devices other then the
Linux bridge to manage a forwarding database.

Previously posted and discussed here,

http://lists.openwall.net/netdev/2012/03/19/26

This version addresses feedback from Ben Hutchings to fix
a typo in the multicast dump routines and to better handle
error cases on add/del fdb. Notify hooks were added for
the NTF_SELF case as well to bring it inline with the
SW net/bridge.

Additionally this version changes the macvlan patch to use
a flag to disable promisc mode. This was decided on over
adding additional modes.

Thanks for the feedback and review. I've tested this with
the 'br' tool published by Stephen Hemminger and pktgen.

.John
