Subject: [PATCH 2/6] bridge: add new attribute IFLA_BRIDGE_VLAN_RANGE_INFO to represent vlan range

From: Roopa Prabhu <roopa@...ulusnetworks.com>

This patch adds new bridge netlink attribute IFLA_BRIDGE_VLAN_RANGE_INFO
to represent vlan range.

Current IFLA_BRIDGE_VLAN_INFO attribute represents a single vlan and
does not scale well when the port has large number of vlans.

IFLA_BRIDGE_VLAN_RANGE_INFO is similar to IFLA_BRIDGE_VLAN_INFO but helps
with packing consecutive vlans in a single attribute. Thus reducing the
size of the netlink msg during adds and also during dumps.
