As Stephen explained, bridge ports of the same bridge device no longer need to have 
the same mtu. So the bridge code needs to drop packets (ARP, IP, whatever) that will 
be too long for the output port.
The whole idea behind the new flag is giving the bridge code enough information so it 
doesn't drop to-be-fragmented packets.

cheers,
Bart
