These are not most important to bridge-fastpath, but it gives extra
possibilities. How about concentrating first on patch 2/15 (with 1/15
removing a warning and 3/15 cleaning up), adding nf_flow_encap_push()
for xmit direct? It is a vital patch for the bridge-fastpath.

Anyway, I will look into writing selftests for conntrack-bridge setup,
including various vlan setups. This will take me some time, which I
do not have in abundance, so for that I do not know if I get it done
before the merge window.
