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.
