FTR devices implementing OVS offload can attach metadata to such
packets, and then the driver does the redirect. The SW TC path is 
not engaged. IIRC OVS has a concept of internal ports which are
"stack facing" ports in addition to the main bridge device.
And in some offloaded configurations people want HW to redirect 
to those.
