I don't think we have any RSTP code in the tree. We recently aquired an
STP implementation in if_bridge, but not RSTP.
It's not immediatly clear to me how a host would use RSTP for
redundency. I suppose you could use a virtual interface and two ports
that pretended to be switch ports that talked RSTP? If RSTP were added
to if_bridge, I think that would be easy to do.
