Ah, so this is the case which in mv88e6xxx would generate an ATU
violation interrupt; in the Spectrum case it generates a special packet.
Right now this packet isn't generated, right?

I think we have the same thing in ocelot, a port can be configured to
send "learn frames" to the CPU.

Should these packets be injected into the bridge RX path in the first
place? They reach the CPU because of an FDB miss, not because the CPU
was the intended destination.
