Subject: [net-next PATCH v1 0/7] Managing the forwarding database(FDB)

The following series is a submission for net-next to allow
embedded switches and other stacked devices other then the
Linux bridge to manage a forwarding database.

This was previously posted here (where it was deferred for
more review and testing)

http://lists.openwall.net/netdev/2012/03/19/26

This series adds macvlan support per discussions with Roopa
and Michael. Also ixgbe was updated to support adding multicast
addresses per request from Greg Rose.

Finally cleanups in the generic dump routines were added
for multicast to support ixgbe and macvlan use cases.

Thanks to everyone for the helpful review and comments. As
always any comments/feedback welcome.

.John
