Jiri, since we have not really converged on the switchdev class or 
having a separate switchdev instance,
am thinking it is better if we dont expose any such switch_id to 
userspace yet until absolutely needed. Do you need it today ?
There is no real in kernel hw switch driver that will use it today. And 
quite likely this will need to change when we introduce real hw switch 
drivers.
