The mirroring tests are currently run in a skip_hw and optionally a skip_sw mode. The former tests the SW datapath, the latter the HW datapath, if available. In order to be able to test SW datapath on HW loopbacks, traps are installed on ingress to get traffic from the HW datapath to the SW one. This adds an unnecessary complexity when it would be much simpler to just use a veth-based topology to test the SW datapath. Thus drop all the code that supports this dual testing.

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 reStructuredText 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.
