bridge: export knowledge about the presence of IGMP/MLD queriers
With this patch other modules are able to ask the bridge whether an
IGMP or MLD querier exists on the according, bridged link layer.
Multicast snooping can only be performed if a valid, selected querier
exists on a link.
Just like the bridge only enables its multicast snooping if a querier
exists, e.g. batman-adv too can only activate its multicast
snooping in bridged scenarios if a querier is present.
For instance this export avoids having to reimplement IGMP/MLD
querier message snooping and parsing in e.g. batman-adv, when
multicast optimizations for bridged scenarios are added in the
future.

bridge: add export of multicast database adjacent to net_dev
With this new, exported function br_multicast_list_adjacent(net_dev) a
list of IPv4/6 addresses is returned. This list contains all multicast
addresses sensed by the bridge multicast snooping feature on all bridge
ports of the bridge interface of net_dev, excluding addresses from the
specified net_device itself.
Adding bridge support to the batman-adv multicast optimization requires
batman-adv knowing about the existence of bridged-in multicast
listeners to be able to reliably serve them with multicast packets.

netfilter: ebtables: make broute table work again
broute table init hook sets up the "br_should_route_hook" pointer,
which then gets called from br_input.
commit a386f99025f13b32502fe5dedf223c20d7283826
(bridge: add proper RCU annotation to should_route_hook)
introduced a typedef, and then changed this to:
br_should_route_hook_t *rhook;
[..]
rhook = rcu_dereference(br_should_route_hook);
if (*rhook(skb))
problem is that "br_should_route_hook" contains the address of the function,
so calling *rhook() results in kernel panic.

net: Make accesses to ->br_port safe for sparse RCU
The new versions of the rcu_dereference() APIs requires that any pointers
passed to one of these APIs be fully defined. The ->br_port field
in struct net_device points to a struct net_bridge_port, which is an
incomplete type. This commit therefore changes ->br_port to be a void*,
and introduces a br_port() helper function to convert the type to struct
net_bridge_port, and applies this new helper function where required.

net: replace hooks in __netif_receive_skb V5
What this patch does is it removes two receive frame hooks (for bridge and for
macvlan) from __netif_receive_skb. These are replaced them with a single
hook for both. It only supports one hook per device because it makes no
sense to do bridging and macvlan on the same device.
Then a network driver (of virtual netdev like macvlan or bridge) can register
an rx_handler for needed net device.

bridge: forwarding table information for >256 devices
The forwarding table binary interface (my bad choice), only exposes
the port number of the first 8 bits. The bridge code was limited to
256 ports at the time, but now the kernel supports up 1024 ports, so
the upper bits are lost when doing:
brctl showmacs
The fix is to squeeze the extra bits into small hole left in data
structure, to maintain binary compatiablity.

[NET]: Make the device list and device lookups per namespace.
This patch makes most of the generic device layer network
namespace safe. This patch makes dev_base_head a
network namespace variable, and then it picks up
a few associated variables. The functions:
dev_getbyhwaddr
dev_getfirsthwbytype
dev_get_by_flags
dev_get_by_name
__dev_get_by_name
dev_get_by_index
__dev_get_by_index
dev_ioctl
dev_ethtool
dev_load
wireless_process_ioctl
were modified to take a network namespace argument, and
deal with it.
vlan_ioctl_set and brioctl_set were modified so their
hooks will receive a network namespace argument.
So basically anthing in the core of the network stack that was
affected to by the change of dev_base was modified to handle
multiple network namespaces. The rest of the network stack was
simply modified to explicitly use &init_net the initial network
namespace. This can be fixed when those components of the network
stack are modified to handle multiple network namespaces.
For now the ifindex generator is left global.
Fundametally ifindex numbers are per namespace, or else
we will have corner case problems with migration when
we get that far.
At the same time there are assumptions in the network stack
that the ifindex of a network device won't change. Making
the ifindex number global seems a good compromise until
the network stack can cope with ifindex changes when
you change namespaces, and the like.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2
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!
