eswitch is independent from netdev, and we want to keep netdev ndos
local to netdev files.

i know ifdef is ugly, but we have to provide basic ndos (not dummy
pointers) when eswitch is not avaialbe, also we want the code to be as
much as free from empty functions that all they do is to return
-EOPNOTSUPP;

for my taste this way is cleaner and more readable, from these line
you can understand when SRIOV/Eswitch is not supported. you don't need
to backtrack the function pointers.

Yes (Legacy SRIOV mode), but not the other way around.

this means that we need to export some data path RX helper functions,
also we would like to keep all RX path local to en_rx.c file for
performance considerations, and this is the price we have to pay.
