These changes cannot go in:
1) There is no reason the 'okfn' you use cannot be the
function doing the MAC header copy.
This is how this is supposed to work.
I explained in that long thread a few weeks ago how
this copy may not be placed in the generic IP code.
This is final, you must find a way to make this copy
without touching ipv4/*.c
2) The netfilter changes need to be approved by the netfilter
team.
I suspect, like myself, they will barf at the phys{in,out}dev
additions to sk_buff. We already have enough junk sitting
in sk_buff making it larger than it needs to be.
Perhaps you can hang this off the nf_conntrack pointer and
specify a destructor.
3) The bridging layer changes need to be approved by Lennert.
But I'd suggest working out #1 and #2 first.
Thanks.
