For pkts copied to the CPU (to be processed by guest driver), mark the Rx
descriptor with flag "OFFLOAD_FWD" to indicate device has already forwarded
pkt. The guest driver will use this indicator to avoid duplicate
forwarding in the guest OS.
Examples include bcast/mcast/unknown ucast pkts flooded to bridged ports.
We want to avoid both the device and the guest bridge driver flooding these
pkts, which would result in duplicates pkts on the wire. Packet sampling,
such as sFlow, can also use this technique to mark pkts for the guest OS to
record but otherwise drop.

Rocker is a simulated ethernet switch device. The device supports up to 62
front-panel ports and supports L2 switching and L3 routing functions, as well
as L2/L3/L4 ACLs. The device presents a single PCI device for each switch,
with a memory-mapped register space for device driver access.
Rocker device is invoked with -device, for example a 4-port switch:
-device rocker,name=sw1,len-ports=4,ports[0]=dev0,ports[1]=dev1, \
ports[2]=dev2,ports[3]=dev3
Each port is a netdev and can be paired with using -netdev id=<port name>.

rocker: add support for flow modification
We had support for flow add/del. This adds support for flow mod. I needed
this for L3 support where an existing route is modified using NLM_F_REPLACE.
For example:
ip route add 12.0.0.0/30 nexthop via 11.0.0.1 dev swp1
ip route change 12.0.0.0/30 nexthop via 11.0.0.9 dev swp2
The first cmd adds the route. The second cmd changes the existing route by
changing its nexthop info.
In the device, a mod operation results in the matching flow enty being modified
with the new settings. This is atomic to the device.
