bridge: Keep track of ports capable of automatic discovery.
By default, ports on the bridge are capable of automatic discovery of nodes located behind the port. This is accomplished via flooding of unknown traffic (BR_FLOOD) and learning the mac addresses from these packets (BR_LEARNING). If the above functionality is disabled by turning off these flags, the port requires static configuration in the form of static FDB entries to function properly. This patch adds functionality to keep track of all ports capable of automatic discovery. This will later be used to control promiscuity settings. Acked-by:Michael S.
