They are integers assigned from the same code blocks in all cases,
starting with -1 and later being assigned rvalues either from u64 fields
limited to 0-255 (meta->source_port, meta->switch_id) or from unsigned
char fields (hdr->h_dest[3], hdr->h_dest[4]), or from
dsa_8021q_rx_source_port() and dsa_8021q_rx_switch_id() which return
limited-size positive integers due to their implementation.
