7ce54e3f42 [BRIDGE]: receive path optimization
This improves the bridge local receive path by avoiding going
through another softirq.  The bridge receive path is already being called
from a netif_receive_skb() there is no point in going through another
receiveq round trip.

Recursion is limited because bridge can never be a port of a bridge
so handle_bridge() always returns.

85967bb46d [BRIDGE]: prevent bad forwarding table updates
Avoid poisoning of the bridge forwarding table by frames that have been
dropped by filtering. This prevents spoofed source addresses on hostile
side of bridge from causing packet leakage, a small but possible security
risk.

81d35307dd [BRIDGE]: set features based on enslaved devices

devices.  Motivated by Xen and others who use bridging to do failover.

f0e035f4b6 [PATCH] kobject/hotplug split - net bridge
kobject_add() and kobject_del() don't emit hotplug events anymore.
We need to do it ourselves now.

Linus Torvalds
1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
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!
