After whish I get this from an x86_64 allmodconfig build:

ERROR: "br_nf_core_fini" [net/bridge/bridge.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "br_netfilter_rtable_init" [net/bridge/bridge.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "br_nf_core_init" [net/bridge/bridge.ko] undefined!

So I gave up :-(

I have used the net-next tree from next-20140926 for today.
