Sorry, my wording was misleading :) What I meant was at this time,
it's only used in br_netfilter.c but may be sometime in the future,
it could possible be used in some other places where we enter the IP
stack from the bridge code.

But, I completely agree with you. It makes more sense to make it static
as of now.
