Status:
 - Series adds "ingress redirect/mirror" support
 - Positive feedback for the feature
 - So far no comments regarding code itself
 - Questions raised regarding "recursion handling"
   Expressed that existing mirred code (i.e egress redirect) is *already*
   loop-unsafe (and also, some non-tc netdev constructs, as exampled by
   others).
   Discussion then wandered to "recursion handling".

Regards,
Shmulik
