As it is the bridge will only ever declare NETIF_F_IP_CSUM even if all
its constituent devices support NETIF_F_HW_CSUM. This patch fixes
this by supporting the first one out of NETIF_F_NO_CSUM,
NETIF_F_HW_CSUM, and NETIF_F_IP_CSUM that is supported by all
constituent devices.

Optimize the forwarding and transmit paths. Both places are
called with bottom half/no preempt so there is no need to use
spin_lock_bh or rcu_read_lock.

Add limited ethtool support to bridge to allow disabling
features.
Note: if underlying device does not support a feature (like checksum
offload), then the bridge device won't inherit it.

Some people are using bridging to hide multiple machines from an ISP
that restricts by MAC address. So in that case allow the bridge mac
address to be set to any of the existing interfaces. I don't want to
allow any arbitrary value and confuse STP.

Make features of the bridge pseudo-device be a subset of the underlying
devices. Motivated by Xen and others who use bridging to do failover.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
