This is a first stab at the series that allows bridge to function in non-promiscuouse mode. The series adds a sysfs control to turn off promiscusouse mode all on ports of the bridge. To handle multicast, we turn on IFF_ALLMULTI for now. Eventually we would deal with multicast addresses. The second patch adds an ability to designate an uplink port on the bridge. Finally, we add an ability to add hw address to the bridge and sync those addresses to the uplink ports. In this way a bridge could be programmed with appropriate mac addresses and could function in non-promiscuouse mode. All comments are welcome.
