This patch adds support to set and display protodown on a switch port. The
switch driver can handle this error state by doing a phys down on the port.
One example user space application setting this flag is a multi-chassis
LAG application to handle split-brain situation on peer-link failure.
Example:
root@net-next:~# ip link set eth1 protodown on
root@net-next:~/iproute2# ip link show eth1
4: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether 52:54:00:12:35:01 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff protodown on
root@net-next:~/iproute2# ip link set eth1 protodown off
root@net-next:~/iproute2# ip link show eth1
4: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether 52:54:00:12:35:01 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
root@net-next:~/iproute2#

How to compile this.
--------------------
1. libdbm
arpd needs to have the db4 development libraries. For Debian
users this is the package with a name like libdb4.x-dev.
DBM_INCLUDE points to the directory with db_185.h which
is the include file used by arpd to get to the old format Berkeley
database routines. Often this is in the db-devel package.
2. make
The makefile will automatically build a Config file which
contains whether or not ATM is available, etc.
3. To make documentation, cd to doc/ directory , then
look at start of Makefile and set correct values for
PAGESIZE=a4 , ie: a4 , letter ... (string)
PAGESPERPAGE=2 , ie: 1 , 2 ... (numeric)
and make there. It assumes, that latex, dvips and psnup
are in your path.
4. This package includes matching sanitized kernel headers because
the build environment may not have up to date versions. See Makefile
if you have special requirements and need to point at different
kernel include files.
