Hi, This set adds the ability to add externally learned entries from user-space. For symmetry and proper function we need to allow SW entries to take over HW learned ones (similar to how HW can take over SW entries currently) which is needed for our use case (evpn) where we have pure SW ports and HW ports mixed in a single bridge. This does not play well with switchdev devices currently because there's no feedback when the entry is taken over, but this case has never worked anyway and feedback can be easily added when needed. Patch 02 simply allows to use NTF_EXT_LEARNED from user-space, we already have Quagga patches that make use of this functionality.
