The bridge code assumes ethernet addressing, so be more strict in
the what is allowed. This showed up when GRE had a bug and was not
using correct address format.
Add some more comments for increased clarity.

There is a potential double-kfree in net/bridge/br_if.c. If br_fdb_insert
fails, then the kobject is put back (which calls kfree due to the kobject
release), and then kfree is called again on the net_bridge_port. This
patch fixes the crash.
Thanks to Stephen Hemminger for the one-line fix.

The Ethernet framing is used for a lot of devices these days. Most
prominent are WiFi and WiMAX based devices. However for userspace
application it is important to classify these devices correctly and
not only see them as Ethernet devices. The daemons like HAL, DeviceKit
or even NetworkManager with udev support tries to do the classification
in userspace with a lot trickery and extra system calls. This is not
good and actually reaches its limitations. Especially since the kernel
does know the type of the Ethernet device it is pretty stupid.
To solve this problem the underlying device type needs to be set and
then the value will be exported as DEVTYPE via uevents and available
within udev.
# cat /sys/class/net/wlan0/uevent
DEVTYPE=wlan
INTERFACE=wlan0
IFINDEX=5
This is similar to subsystems like USB and SCSI that distinguish
between hosts, devices, disks, partitions etc.
The new SET_NETDEV_DEVTYPE() is a convenience helper to set the actual
device type. All device types are free form, but for convenience the
same strings as used with RFKILL are choosen.

Commit 19eda87 (netfilter: change return types of check functions for

commit f216f082b2
([NETFILTER]: bridge netfilter: deal with martians correctly)
added a refcount leak on in_dev.
Instead of using in_dev_get(), we can use __in_dev_get_rcu(),
as netfilter hooks are running under rcu_read_lock(), as pointed
by Patrick.

ebt_log uses its own implementation of print_mac to print MAC addresses.
This patch converts it to use the %pM conversion specifier for printk.

String literals are constant, and usually, we can also tag the array
of pointers const too, moving it to the .rodata section.

kobject_init_and_add will alloc memory for kobj->name, so in br_add_if
error path, simply use kobject_del will not free memory for kobj->name.
Fix by using kobject_put instead, kobject_put will internally calls
kobject_del and frees memory for kobj->name.

This patch is the result of an automatic spatch transformation to convert
all ndo_start_xmit() return values of 0 to NETDEV_TX_OK.
Some occurences are missed by the automatic conversion, those will be
handled in a seperate patch.

When unloading modules that uses call_rcu() callbacks, then we must
use rcu_barrier(). This module uses syncronize_net() which is not
enough to be sure that all callback has been completed.

This patch changes FDB entry check for ATM LANE bridge integration.
There's no point in holding a FDB entry around SKB building.
br_fdb_get()/br_fdb_put() pair are changed into single br_fdb_test_addr()
hook that checks if the addr has FDB entry pointing to other port
to the one the request arrived on.
FDB entry refcounting is removed as it's not used anywhere else.

Define three accessors to get/set dst attached to a skb
struct dst_entry *skb_dst(const struct sk_buff *skb)
void skb_dst_set(struct sk_buff *skb, struct dst_entry *dst)
void skb_dst_drop(struct sk_buff *skb)
This one should replace occurrences of :
dst_release(skb->dst)
skb->dst = NULL;
