This change breaks configure on any Fedora install I have, so I've
had to revert it in master, since broken Fedora is more of a show
stopper than broken RHEL6.
Arrgh - this time, the incremental build on Fedora bit me. I hate that
the use of <linux/if_bridge.h> is broken depending on platform, with
opposite conditions on whether you include or avoid <netinet/in.h>; the
kernel folks really botched this one. :( I'll come up with a v2.
