Linux Ethernet Bridging - Apr 2014 - [Bridge] [PATCH][RFC] bridge: mark packets sent to any local mac address as PACKET_HOST

The bridge code only set PACKET_HOST on packets sent to the bridge mac
address, packets sent to other local mac addresses are sent to upper
layer, but ignored because they are marked as PACKET_OTHERHOST.
