[RFC Patch 2/3] bridge: make bridge support netpoll

From: Amerigo Wang
Date: Mon Mar 22 2010 - 04:18:34 EST



Based on the previous patch, make bridge support netpoll by:

1) implement the 4 methods to support netpoll for bridge;

2) modify netpoll during forwarding packets in bridge;

3) disable netpoll support of bridge when a netpoll-unabled device
is added to bridge;

4) enable netpoll support when all underlying devices support netpoll.
