			Switch (and switch-ish) device drivers HOWTO
			===========================

			Please note that the word "switch" is here used in very generic meaning.
			This include devices supporting L2/L3 but also various flow offloading chips,
			including switches embedded into SR-IOV NICs.

			Lets describe a topology a bit. Imagine the following example:

			+----------------------------+ +---------------+
			\| SOME switch chip \| \| CPU \|
			+----------------------------+ +---------------+
			port1 port2 port3 port4 MNGMNT \| PCI-E \|
			\| \| \| \| \| +---------------+
			PHY PHY \| \| \| \| NIC0 NIC1
			\| \| \| \| \| \|
			\| \| +- PCI-E -+ \| \|
			\| +------- MII -------+ \|
			+------------- MII ------------+

			In this example, there are two independent lines between the switch silicon
			and CPU. NIC0 and NIC1 drivers are not aware of a switch presence. They are
			separate from the switch driver. SOME switch chip is by managed by a driver
			via PCI-E device MNGMNT. Note that MNGMNT device, NIC0 and NIC1 may be
			connected to some other type of bus.

			Now, for the previous example show the representation in kernel:

			+----------------------------+ +---------------+
			\| SOME switch chip \| \| CPU \|
			+----------------------------+ +---------------+
			sw0p0 sw0p1 sw0p2 sw0p3 MNGMNT \| PCI-E \|
			\| \| \| \| \| +---------------+
			PHY PHY \| \| \| \| eth0 eth1
			\| \| \| \| \| \|
			\| \| +- PCI-E -+ \| \|
			\| +------- MII -------+ \|
			+------------- MII ------------+

			Lets call the example switch driver for SOME switch chip "SOMEswitch". This
			driver takes care of PCI-E device MNGMNT. There is a netdevice instance sw0pX
			created for each port of a switch. These netdevices are instances
			of "SOMEswitch" driver. sw0pX netdevices serve as a "representation"
			of the switch chip. eth0 and eth1 are instances of some other existing driver.

			The only difference of the switch-port netdevice from the ordinary netdevice
			is that is implements couple more NDOs:

			ndo_switch_parent_id_get - This returns the same ID for two port netdevices
			of the same physical switch chip. This is
			mandatory to be implemented by all switch drivers
			and serves the caller for recognition of a port
			netdevice.
			ndo_switch_parent_* - Functions that serve for a manipulation of the switch
			chip itself (it can be though of as a "parent" of the
			port, therefore the name). They are not port-specific.
			Caller might use arbitrary port netdevice of the same
			switch and it will make no difference.
			ndo_switch_port_* - Functions that serve for a port-specific manipulation.
