Subject: [PATCH net-next-2.6 0/3] net: use rx_handler_data pointer for bridge
 and macvlan ports

Since recent changes ensured that only one rx_handler can be present at a time,
always either macvlan_port or br_port pointer in net_device structure is
not used. So introduce rx_handler_data pointer into net_device structure to
store this data pointer and safe some space. Also this pointer is right next
rx_handler pointer most likely on the same cache line.
