[Bridge] SIOCDEVPRIVATE

[Abhijit Kumbhare]

The bridge module uses this ioctl - but in the comment in 
include/linux/sockios.h where it is defined says that the device private 
IOCTL are "deprecated" and will disappear in 2.5.X (comment by DaveM).

I still see it being used in the 2.6.X bridge code - what's the story 
behind this? Will SIOCDEVPRIVATE disappear or its just an invalid 
comment because too many people/modules are using it (that it will never 
be removed)?

Please let me know.

Thanks,
Abhijit
