The bridge netfilter code doesn't register an afinfo with the
netfilter core, so queueing drops the packets. Its actually
not needed since bridge netfilter doesn't need to reroute anyways.
So you basically need to change the __nf_queue function to only
invoke the af-specific functions if an afinfo is available.
Patches welcome btw :)
