Why include list.h and slab.h?

You can add a header in include/linux/dsa/ which is shared with the
switch driver, to avoid duplicate definitions.

The tag format sort of becomes fixed ABI as soon as user space is able
to run "cat /sys/class/net/eth0/dsa/tagging", see "yt921x", and record
it to a pcap file. Unless the EtherType bears some other meaning rather
than being a fixed value, then if you change it later to some other
value than 0x9988, you'd better also change the protocol name to
distinguish it from "yt921x".

Also, you can _not_ use yt921x_priv :: tag_eth_p, because doing so would
assume that typeof(ds->priv) == struct yt921x_priv. In principle we
would like to be able to run the tagging protocols on the dsa_loop
driver as well, which can be attached to any network interface. Very
few, if any, tagging protocol drivers don't work on dsa_loop.

This is generally used for integrated DSA switches, for lossless
backpressure during CPU transmission, where the conduit interface driver
is known, and has set up its queues in a special way, as a result of the
fact that it is attached to a known DSA switch (made by the same vendor).
What do you need it for, in a discrete MDIO-controlled switch?

Use dsa_etype_header_pos_rx() and validate the CPU_TAG_TPID_TPID as well.
