+ * Enforces, mutual exclusion with the Linux bridge module, by declaring and
+ * exporting br_should_route_hook. Because the bridge module also exports the
+ * same symbol, the module loader will refuse to load both modules at the same
+ * time (e.g. "bridge: exports duplicate symbol br_should_route_hook (owned by
+ * openvswitch)").
+ *
+ * Before Linux 2.6.36, Open vSwitch cannot safely coexist with the Linux
+ * bridge module, so openvswitch uses this macro in those versions. In
+ * Linux 2.6.36 and later, Open vSwitch can coexist with the bridge module,
+ * but it makes no sense to load both bridge and brcompat, so brcompat uses
+ * this macro in those versions.
+ *
+ * The use of "typeof" here avoids the need to track changes in the type of
+ * br_should_route_hook over various kernel versions.
