I don't really see the use of this.  If the goal is to make setting
up a bridge easier, I don't think that just adding readline will
reach that goal.  But well.. if you're heavily attached to this
I'll stick it in the package.  Let me know.

You mean adding rstp to the kernel?  I'd rather move the whole of
STP processing to userspace (and I'm still planning on doing that
for 2.5, if Jamal doesn't beat me to it)

It's a static variable.. and thus zero by default.  So your patch
is not necessary.
