[Bridge] [PATCH 2.6] bridge -- support different MTU sizes

[shemminger at osdl.org (Stephen Hemminger)]

This patch adds support for different size MTU's to bridging.
It is useful for bridging Ethernet's with jumbo frames, etc.

The mtu of the bridge pseudo-device is maintained as the minimum
of all the underlying ports.  And when forwarding a frame through
the bridge, it will drop the frame if the outgoing port's MTU
is less than the frame size (as per 802 standard).
