[PATCH] bridge: mask forwarding of IEEE 802 local multicast groups

[Nick Carter <ncarter100@gmail.com>]

Introduce sysfs ../bridge/group_fwd_mask attribute so users can
configure which group mac addresses are forwarded.

These diffs do not change the default behaviour of bridge.ko.  By
changing the group_fwd_mask value users can select any combination of
the 01-80-C2-00-00-00 - 01-80-C2-00-00-0F addresses to be forwarded.
