[BRIDGE]: netlink interface for link management
Add basic netlink support to the Ethernet bridge. Including:
* dump interfaces in bridges
* monitor link status changes
* change state of bridge port
For some demo programs see:
http://developer.osdl.org/shemminger/prototypes/brnl.tar.gz
These are to allow building a daemon that does alternative
implementations of Spanning Tree Protocol.
