Patrick McHardy 70c03b49b8 vlan: Add GVRP support
Add GVRP support for dynamically registering VLANs with switches.

By default GVRP is disabled because we only support the applicant-only
participant model, which means it should not be enabled on vlans that
are members of a bridge. Since there is currently no way to cleanly
determine that, the user is responsible for enabling it.

The code is pretty small and low impact, its wrapped in a config
option though because it depends on the GARP implementation and
the STP core.

---help---
Select this and you will be able to create 802.1Q VLAN interfaces
on your ethernet interfaces. 802.1Q VLAN supports almost
everything a regular ethernet interface does, including
firewalling, bridging, and of course IP traffic. You will need
the 'vconfig' tool from the VLAN project in order to effectively
use VLANs. See the VLAN web page for more information:
<http://www.candelatech.com/~greear/vlan.html>
To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the module
will be called 8021q.
If unsure, say N.
config VLAN_8021Q_GVRP
bool "GVRP (GARP VLAN Registration Protocol) support"
depends on VLAN_8021Q
select GARP
help
Select this to enable GVRP end-system support. GVRP is used for
automatic propagation of registered VLANs to switches.
If unsure, say N.
