This patch adds (as suggested by scott feldman),
         - new netlink attribute IFLA_BRIDGE_VLAN_INFO_LIST to represent
           vlan list
         - And bridge_vlan_info flags BRIDGE_VLAN_INFO_RANGE_START and
           BRIDGE_VLAN_INFO_RANGE_END to indicate start and end of vlan range

You add these here but you don't use them until the next patch.
If they were wrong a bisect would point to the next patch.

I would add them in the next patch where you start to use them.
I thought it was ok to declare it first and use them in the next patch. Only
the other way around would be bad.
  I have submitted in a similar way before. If needed i will resubmit.
Hmm.  I cannot see how the other way would be bad but maybe I am missing
something.
sorry, i did not mean what you were saying would be bad. I was just trying
to say that, use first and declare later would be bad (ie if my patches 1
and 2 were swapped). Otherwise i don't see a problem.
Now I understand.  Yes, swapping the patches would be bad.

I know that you are saying i should combine the patches 1 and 2 into a
single patch. That is not a problem. If i need to respin again due to other
reasons i will consider merging them as well if that is a concern.
Er, well not quite.  I don't think both patches should be combined in to
one.  I would only move those two #defines that I pointed out in the
first patch in to the second patch.

I hope that makes a little more sense :)
okay :).

thanks,
Roopa

thanks.
