I know this, but since there are MANY other changes on bridge driver made
since 2.4.x kernel besides RCU, I do not know which change or fixes might
already fix some problem I encountered, for example,
 1. randomly kernel panic when we removed interfaces from bridge
  So it would be good if there is latest bridge driver on kernel 2.4.X
 Regards!
