Hi Peter

I claim that your patch is not the good one and you need to refine it.

First, code is not needed if CONFIG_BRIDGE_NETFILTER is not set.

In fact, if CONFIG_BRIDGE_NETFILTER is not set, compilation will fail
since fake_rtable doesnt exist in "struct net_bridge", so you fix a bug
and introduce a new one.

  CC [M]  net/bridge/br_forward.o
net/bridge/br_forward.c: In function ‘__br_forward’:
net/bridge/br_forward.c:94: error: ‘struct sk_buff’ has no member named ‘_skb_dst’
net/bridge/br_forward.c:94: error: ‘struct net_bridge’ has no member named ‘fake_rtable’
make[1]: *** [net/bridge/br_forward.o] Error 1
make: *** [_module_net/bridge] Error 2

Then, the test is using obsolete dst internals and cast that should not
be in a C file. : 

if (skb->_skb_dst == (unsigned long)&to->br->fake_rtable)

So I suggested you take a look at net/bridge/br_netfilter.c code to see
how this can be done properly. Maybe you need to add a helper in an
include file to make this proper.

I hope this is now clear to you, because your initial patch cannot be
applied as is. If you want full credit for this work, you must go a step
forward, or else another guy will finish the job.

Thanks
