Sorry - I guess until i looked at the code again last few minutes,
it had skipped my mind that this interface is also used for vxlan. So 
master now seems to make more sense ;->

Vlad, you may get your wish - it seems if i am going to have to set
the bridge device as a filter I will have no choice but to use an
ifm since it is size different from ndm. Which is not a big deal
until i attach an attribute - which breaks old iproute2  out in
the wild already. I have to say i am not liking this (because i was
hoping to add other filters in the future, example vlan)
but dont see a way out.
So the only way this would work is to use the original ifm as
the header.

cheers,
jamal
