Would you mind explaining why those return 0s are safe?

Say I have 2 netdevs, one dumb NIC without ndo_setup_tc (dnic) and one
NIC that can offload everything (enic).  I can share a block between
them (before or after adding any filters) and adding filters with
skip_sw will succeed, even though dnic will not see them ever.  There
is only one callback for enic, "all callbacks" != "all devices". 
It's fine to share the block in such case, but that block can never
accept a skip_sw filter.  Don't we need something like (reverse) patch 3
for keeping track of netdevs sharing the block which are not OK with
offloads?

Am I misunderstanding how this is supposed to work?  Or simply too nit
picky about providing predictable behaviour?

Quick hack to illustrate the idea (untested):

Here a block once tainted with a bad netdev will never be offloadable
again, so tracking a'la patch 3 would be nicer..
