Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 net-next 0/2] Remove NETIF_F_NETNS_LOCAL from software devices.

When NETIF_F_NETNS_LOCAL feature is set in some network device,  
we do not allow this device to be moved from one network namespace 
to another (see dev_change_net_namespace()). Vlan device is not considered 
a local device and does not have the NETIF_F_NETNS_LOCAL feature. There is no 
reason that software devices like ppp and bridge will set the
NETIF_F_NETNS_LOCAL feature. This patchset removes NETIF_F_NETNS_LOCAL
from ppp and bridge devices.

* Changes from v1
	Do not remove NETIF_F_NETNS_LOCAL from vxlan devices. Moving vxlan device 
	to a different namesapce does not move the state of the UDP socket related 
	to this vxlan device (Following Stephen Hemminger comment).
	
Rami Rosen (2):
  [RFC PATCH v2 net-next 1/3] ppp: remove NETIF_F_NETNS_LOCAL from ppp
    device features.
  [RFC PATCH v2 net-next 2/3] bridge: remove NETIF_F_NETNS_LOCAL from
    bridge device features.
