Florian, please make sure not to do that. Switchdev code is now 100%
bridge offload facility, it would be preferable to keep it that way. I
plan to move the code to bridge and get rid of net/switchdev completely
to avoid confusions. Arkadi was working on that in past but he did not
finish it, unfortunatelly.
