DESCRIPTION

* Fix handling of link-local frames in bridged networking.

The original code processed frames addressed to link-local addresses
only if STP was enabled.  This resulted in other frames such as LACP
for bonding being silently ignored.  The fix is for any frame
addressed to a link-local addresses to be processed by the local
receive path.
