I have a patch set that adds FIB offload implementation to netdevsim and
a gazillion of test cases that I share between netdevsim and mlxsw. Can
be used by more drivers when they land.

It's also very convenient for fuzzing now that syzkaller supports
netdevsim instances thanks to Jiri. I've been running syzkaller for a
few weeks now to test the FIB implementation.
