Listen for SWITCHDEV_FDB_{ADD|DEL}_TO_DEVICE events while in switchdev
mode. Accept these events on both uplink and VF PR ports. Add HW
rules in newly created workqueue. FDB entries are stored in rhashtable
for lookup when removing the entry and in the list for cleanup
purpose. Direction of the HW rule depends on the type of the ports
on which the FDB event was received:
ICE_ESWITCH_BR_UPLINK_PORT:
TX rule that forwards the packet to the LAN (egress).
ICE_ESWITCH_BR_VF_REPR_PORT:
RX rule that forwards the packet to the VF associated
with the port representor.
In both cases the rule matches on the dst mac address.
All the FDB entries are stored in the bridge structure.
When the port is removed all the FDB entries associated with
this port are removed as well. This is achieved thanks to the reference
to the port that FDB entry holds.
In the fwd rule we use only one lookup type (MAC address)
but lkups_cnt variable is already introduced because
we will have more lookups in the subsequent patches.

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.
