[NET]: move config options out to individual protocols
Move the protocol specific config options out to the specific protocols.
With this change net/Kconfig now starts to become readable and serve as a
good basis for further re-structuring.
The menu structure is left almost intact, except that indention is
fixed in most cases. Most visible are the INET changes where several
"depends on INET" are replaced with a single ifdef INET / endif pair.
Several new files were created to accomplish this change - they are
small but serve the purpose that config options are now distributed
out where they belongs.

8 | If you say Y here, then your Linux box will be able to act as an | ||
9 | Ethernet bridge, which means that the different Ethernet segments it | ||
10 | is connected to will appear as one Ethernet to the participants. | ||
11 | Several such bridges can work together to create even larger | ||
12 | networks of Ethernets using the IEEE 802.1 spanning tree algorithm. | ||
13 | As this is a standard, Linux bridges will cooperate properly with | ||
14 | other third party bridge products. | ||
15 | |||
16 | In order to use the Ethernet bridge, you'll need the bridge | ||
17 | configuration tools; see <file:Documentation/networking/bridge.txt> | ||
18 | for location. Please read the Bridge mini-HOWTO for more | ||
19 | information. | ||
20 | |||
21 | If you enable iptables support along with the bridge support then you | ||
22 | turn your bridge into a bridging IP firewall. | ||
23 | iptables will then see the IP packets being bridged, so you need to | ||
24 | take this into account when setting up your firewall rules. | ||
25 | Enabling arptables support when bridging will let arptables see | ||
26 | bridged ARP traffic in the arptables FORWARD chain. | ||
27 | |||
28 | To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the module | ||
29 | will be called bridge. | ||
