While trying Alexander Holler patch, I found a 32bit brctl program was
not able to work on a 64bit kernel. So I had to switch to another
machine for my tests.

brctl addbr mybridge
->
socket(PF_FILE, SOCK_STREAM, 0)         = 3
ioctl(3, SIOCSIFBR, 0xffd509c0)         = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)

Should we care or not ?
