sorry, will fix.  I thought I ran everything through checkpatch.  I'll
re-run them.

Also, the data structure vlan's seems inverted. Why do you keep a hash
list
of vlan's and then a bitmap of ports. Seems more natural to just put a
bitmap
on each port that has vlan filtering rather than introducing yet
another list
to manage.


I originally had it this way.  I found that it wasted space and made
other things more difficult to do.  For instance, to do egress policy, I
would have needed another bitmap of vlans... With 4096 vlans, that's
512 bytes per port (1024 with policy).

I could probably remove the per-port list.  It would make 2 things a
little harder:
   1) detecting if the port has any vlan info at all.
   2) dumping the vlan information

One other thing would become a little more difficult. fdb management for manually added neighbors.

I could pursue this if you think it'll be better.
