a) didn't want you holding onto old version, and it leaking upstream.
b) didn't know how to spoof git's attribution
c) fake_rtable gets initialized to zero already.
   Since it is part of bridge structure and the whole bridge structure
   is the private part of the bridge pseudo network device which
   is initialized to zero as part of alloc_netdev.

I've applied Stephen's updated version of Simon's patch.

Thanks.
