Subject: [PATCH net-next v6 3/5] net: dsa: add out-of-band tagging protocol

This tagging protocol is designed for the situation where the link
between the MAC and the Switch is designed such that the Destination
Port, which is usually embedded in some part of the Ethernet Header, is
sent out-of-band, and isn't present at all in the Ethernet frame.

This can happen when the MAC and Switch are tightly integrated on an
SoC, as is the case with the Qualcomm IPQ4019 for example, where the DSA
tag is inserted directly into the DMA descriptors. In that case,
the MAC driver is responsible for sending the tag to the switch using
the out-of-band medium. To do so, the MAC driver needs to have the
information of the destination port for that skb.

Add a new tagging protocol based on SKB extensions to convey the
information about the destination port to the MAC driver

---
V5->V6:
 - Added some documentation
 - Removed the pop/push helpers
 - Removed unused fields
V4->V5
 - Use SKB extensions to convey the tag
V3->V4 
 - No changes
V3->V2:
 - No changes, as the discussion is ongoing
V1->V2:
 - Reworked the tagging method, putting the tag at skb->head instead
   of putting it into skb->shinfo, as per Andrew, Florian and Vlad's
   reviews

 Note that this assumes a DSA-unaware master driver, which is the norm.
 
+Some SoCs have a tight integration between the conduit network interface and the
+embedded switch, such that the DSA tag isn't transmitted in the packet data,
+but through another media, using so-called out-of-band tagging. In that case,
+the host MAC driver is in charge of transmitting the tag to the switch.
+An example is the IPQ4019 SoC, that transmits the tag between the ipqess

+configuration, tag-chaining is permitted, but the OOB tag will always be the
+top-most switch in the tree. The tagger (``DSA_TAG_PROTO_OOB``) uses skb
+extensions to transmit the tag to and from the MAC driver.
