I'd like to see those combined, with the "group" references changed to
"remote_default", "default_dst" or something along those lines to
indicate it is a default fdb entry.

When a new list element is a multicast address, also join the group
for receive side.

Also allow PORT, VNI and IFINDEX attributes, and require nonzero,
valid IFINDEX for multicast destinations.

So, yes, I think your patch is a step in the right direction.
