Switch ID
^^^^^^^^^
The switchdev driver must implement the switchdev op switchdev_port_attr_get for
SWITCHDEV_ATTR_PORT_PARENT_ID for each port netdev, returning the same physical ID
for each port of a switch. The ID must be unique between switches on the same
system. The ID does not need to be unique between switches on different
systems.

ports belong to the same switch.

FDB Ageing
^^^^^^^^^^
There are two FDB ageing models supported: 1) ageing by the device, and 2)
ageing by the kernel. Ageing by the device is preferred if many FDB entries
are supported. The driver calls call_switchdev_notifiers(SWITCHDEV_FDB_DEL, ...) to
age out the FDB entry. In this model, ageing by the kernel should be turned
off. XXX: how to turn off ageing in kernel on a per-port basis or otherwise

out stale FDB entries. To keep an FDB entry "alive", the driver should refresh
