the last three lines of net/netisr_dispatch.h look like this:

	#if NBRIDGE > 0 && !defined(__HAVE_GENERIC_SOFT_INTERRUPTS)
		DONETISR(NETISR_BRIDGE,bridgenetisr);
	#endif

and there's no such routine as bridgenetisr, so those ports that don't
__HAVE_GENERIC_SOFT_INTERRUPTS, don't have bridge support.
