[net-next PATCH v4 0/8] Managing the forwarding database(FDB)

[John Fastabend <john.r.fastabend@intel.com>]

The following series is a submission for net-next to allow
embedded switches and other stacked devices other then the
Linux bridge to manage a forwarding database.

Previously discussed here,

http://lists.openwall.net/netdev/2012/03/19/26

v4: propagate return codes correctly for ndo_dflt_Fdb_dump()

v3: resolve the macvlan patch 8/8 to fix a dev_set_promiscuity()
    error and add the flags field to change and get link routines.

v2: addressed feedback from Ben Hutchings resolving a typo in the
    multicast add/del routines and improving the error handling
    when both NTF_SELF and NTF_MASTER are set.

I've tested this with 'br' tool published by Stephen Hemminger
soon to be renamed 'bridge' I believe and various traffic
generators mostly pktgen, ping, and netperf.

Thanks for the feedback any comments welcome.
John
