Every user of the network device notifiers is either a protocol
stack or a pseudo device. If a protocol stack that does not have
support for multiple network namespaces receives an event for a
device that is not in the initial network namespace it quite possibly
can get confused and do the wrong thing.
To avoid problems until all of the protocol stacks are converted
this patch modifies all netdev event handlers to ignore events on
devices that are not in the initial network namespace.
As the rest of the code is made network namespace aware these
checks can be removed.

Need to tell STP daemon about more events, like any time a
device is added even when it is down.

Having a work queue for checking carrier leads to lots of race issues.
Simpler to just get the cost when data structure is created and
update on change.

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:

These are to allow building a daemon that does alternative
implementations of Spanning Tree Protocol.

Speed of a interface may not be available until carrier
is detected in the case of autonegotiation. To get the correct value
we need to recheck speed after carrier event. But the check needs to
be done in a context that is similar to normal ethtool interface (can sleep).
Also, delay check for 1ms to try avoid any carrier bounce transitions.

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!
