Well, it comes preinstalled on my system, I don't need it, and it has

Sure, I'll change the return values of the shims everywhere.

The trouble is that br_mdb_switchdev_host calls switchdev_port_obj_add,
and I think the agreement was that replayed events should be a silent,
one-to-one conversation via a direct call to the notifier block of the
interested driver, as opposed to a call to the entire notifier chain
which would make everybody else in the system see duplicates. This is
the reason why I duplicated mostly everything.
