Trying to add bridge interface from userspace program, after moving the 
program to a new network namespace, causes kernel to crash. I am using latest 
kernel version from git (2.6.31-rc9).
The bug is easy to reproduce - just compile and run the attached C program.

I see that bridge interface has NETIF_F_NETNS_LOCAL flag, but as I understand, 
this flag simply means that a device cannot be *moved* across network 
namespaces, not that it cannot be *created* in other namespaces.
