Ok, now it works with kernel bridge code and you can evaluate it.

mstpd sends all the state changes in the CIST to the kernel bridge, so it 
works for the (R)STP cases as expected. Checked it by connecting two bridges: 
one running mstpd and another running rstpd and in-kernel stp. In both cases 
mstpd code behaves reasonably. Not checked in more complex setups though.

Also mstpd translates to the bridge code fdb flushing events and changes 
ageing time (for the rapid ageing case).
