When the swdev device learns a new mac/vlan on a port, it sends some async
notification to the driver and the driver installs an FDB in the device.
To give a holistic system view, the learned mac/vlan should be reflected
in the bridge's FBD table, so the user, using normal iproute2 cmds, can view
what is currently learned by the device.  This API on the bridge driver gives
a way for the swdev driver to install an FBD entry in the bridge FBD table.
(And remove one).

This is equivalent to the device running these cmds:

  bridge fdb [add|del] &lt;mac&gt; dev &lt;dev&gt; vid &lt;vlan id&gt; master

This patch needs some extra eyeballs for review, in paricular around the
locking and contexts.

Do the work of parsing NDA_VLAN directly in rtnetlink code, pass simple

The current name might seem that this actually offloads the fdb entry to
hw. So rename it to clearly present that this for hardware address
addition/removal.

Conflicts:
	drivers/net/Makefile
	net/ipv6/sysctl_net_ipv6.c

Two ipv6_table_template[] additions overlap, so the index
of the ipv6_table[x] assignments needed to be adjusted.

In the drivers/net/Makefile case, we've gotten rid of the
garbage whereby we had to list every single USB networking
driver in the top-level Makefile, there is just one
"USB_NETWORKING" that guards everything.

<title>bridge: Don't include NDA_VLAN for FDB entries with vid 0</title>

An FDB entry with vlan_id 0 doesn't mean it is used in vlan 0, but used when
vlan_filtering is disabled.

There is inconsistency around NDA_VLAN whose payload is 0 - even if we add
an entry by RTM_NEWNEIGH without any NDA_VLAN, and even though adding an
entry with NDA_VLAN 0 is prohibited, we get an entry with NDA_VLAN 0 by
RTM_GETNEIGH.

Dumping an FDB entry with vlan_id 0 shouldn't include NDA_VLAN.

Actually better than brctl showmacs because we can filter by bridge
port in the kernel.
The current bridge netlink interface doesnt scale when you have many
bridges each with large fdbs or even bridges with many bridge ports

And now for the science non-fiction novel you have all been
waiting for..

(This patch was previously posted as RFC at
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/352677/)

This patch adds NDA_MASTER attribute to neighbour attributes enum for
bridge/master ifindex. And adds NDA_MASTER to bridge fdb notify msgs.

Today bridge fdb notifications dont contain bridge information.
Userspace can derive it from the port information in the fdb
notification. However this is tricky in some scenarious.

Example, bridge port delete notification comes before bridge fdb
delete notifications. And we have seen problems in userspace
when using libnl where, the bridge fdb delete notification handling code
does not understand which bridge this fdb entry is part of because
the bridge and port association has already been deleted.
And these notifications (port membership and fdb) are generated on
separate rtnl groups.

Fixing the order of notifications could possibly solve the problem
for some cases (I can submit a separate patch for that).

This patch chooses to add NDA_MASTER to bridge fdb notify msgs
because it not only solves the problem described above, but also helps
userspace avoid another lookup into link msgs to derive the master index.
