Add an sysfs interface to turn promiscusous mode on and off on
the bridge. By default all interfaces in the bridge
are in promisc mode. When promisc mode is turned off, it is
turned off on all bridge ports and the bridge turns on IFF_ALLMULTI
to handle multicast traffic.

All attribute changes must also be available through netlink, and changes
to attributes should cause a notification to applications listening for
netlink events on that bridge.
There is currently no attribute for promisc vs non-promisc in the
bridge. Are you suggesting that this patch should add one?
