Here is a patch[1] that will allow the MTU to be set higher than 1500

set to 9000 and tried to bridge em0 with tap0 (MTU 1500) for QEMU. A
bridge interface will not allow interfaces with different MTU's to be
added to it.
Since I have touched little inside the kernel, I thought it best if
others take a look at it first.

This looks ok. I'm assuming bridge now works for you.
Thank you for reviewing it.
Yes, this fixes my issue with bridging a tap device to an interface with
an MTU higher than 1500.
I will probably commit this patch this weekend.
