The APs are external, are we going to install hostapd to them, and
let them inform the gateway? They may not even run Linux.
Roaming can happen in a wired LAN too, see Vladimir's commit message
90dc8fd36078 ("net: bridge: notify switchdev of disappearance of old FDB entry upon migration").
I think the fastpath should monitor roaming (called "FDB migration" in
that commit) events, and update/flush the flowtable accordingly.
