In offloads mode, the current implementation puts the uplink representor at index zero of the vport reps array. It is not "natural" to place it at index 0 since we want to put the representor for vport 0 at index 0 with the introduction of SmartNIC. A separate patch will handle the case whether a rep is needed for vport 0 (PF vport). So, we want to have a different placeholder for uplink vport and representor. It was placed at the end of vport and rep array. Since vport number can no longer act as an index into the vport or representors arrays, use functions to map vport numbers to indices when accessing the vports or representors arrays, and vice versa.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
