Hi,
        Since setting up bridging involves bringing down the network interface,
bridging clearly isn't compatible with the likes of NFS or iSCSI root.

        The attached patch makes network-bridge try to detect either of these
conditions and refuse to start, logging an error to syslog.

  Signed-off-by: Mark McLoughlin <markmc@xxxxxxxxxx>

Thanks,
Mark.
