Why locked FDB entries need a special treatment compared to regular
entries? A port that has learning enabled can be spammed with random
source MACs just as well.
The authorization daemon that is monitoring FDB notifications can have a
policy to shut down a port if the rate / number of locked entries is
above a given threshold.
I don't think this kind of policy belongs in the kernel. If it resides
in user space, then the threshold can be adjusted. Currently it's hard
coded to 64 and I don't see how user space can change or monitor it.
