DPV means Destination Port Vector, and an ATU entry with a DPV of 0 essentially means a FDB entry pointing nowhere, so it will drop the packet. That's a slight problem with Hans' implementation, the bridge thinks that the locked FDB entry belongs to port X, but in reality it matches on all bridged ports (since it matches by FID). FID allocation in mv88e6xxx is slightly strange, all VLAN-unaware bridge ports, belonging to any bridge, share the same FID, so the FDB databases are not exactly isolated from each other.
