The egress device in the tuple is obtained from route. Use
dev_fill_forward_path() instead to provide the real egress device for
this flow whenever this is available.
The new FLOW_OFFLOAD_XMIT_DIRECT type uses dev_queue_xmit() to transmit
ethernet frames. Cache the source and destination hardware address to
use dev_queue_xmit() to transfer packets.
The FLOW_OFFLOAD_XMIT_DIRECT replaces FLOW_OFFLOAD_XMIT_NEIGH if
dev_fill_forward_path() finds a direct transmit path.
In case of topology updates, if peer is moved to different bridge port,
the connection will time out, reconnect will result in a new entry with
the correct path. Snooping fdb updates would allow for cleaning up stale
flowtable entries.
