Subject: [PATCH 1/2] bridge: ignore pause & bonding frames

this patch adds bonding frames to the special treatment party and has
both pause and bonding frames delivered on the underlying bridge member
device. we thus become 802.1AX section 5.2.1 compliant which quite
clearly has the link aggregation directly on top of the MAC layer, below
any bridging.

the matching is changed to mimic hardware switches, which match
802.3x/pause and 802.3ad/lacp by the hardware address (keep in mind the
existence of LLC/SNAP headers).

Signed-off-by: David Lamparter <equinox@...c24.net>

note: this should actually fix some issues i was having with bridging
screwing up my bonding. i've resolved those by "brouting" LACP frames
in ebtables... (which this patch will also result in)

compile-tested only
