switchdev use cases need this capability as well to offload routes.
Similar functionality exists in mlxsw to resolve gateways. It would be
good for this design to cover both needs - and that may be as simple as
mlxsw setting the MANAGED flag on the entry to let the neigh subsystem
takeover.

I like the extra newline - it makes locks stand out.

so a neighbor entry can not be both managed and permanent, but you don't
check for the combination in neigh_add and error out with a message to
the user.
