Switches and modern SR-IOV enabled NICs may multiplex traffic from Port
representators and control messages over single set of hardware queues.
Control messages and muxed traffic may need ordered delivery.

Those requirements make it hard to comfortably use TC infrastructure today
unless we have a way of attaching metadata to skbs at the upper device.
Because single set of queues is used for many netdevs stopping TC/sched queues
of all of them reliably is impossible and lower device has to retreat to
returning NETDEV_TX_BUSY and usually has to take extra locks on the fastpath.

This patch attempts to enable port/representative devs to attach metadata to
skbs which carry port id.  This way representatives can be queueless and all
queuing can be performed at the lower netdev in the usual way.

Traffic arriving on the port/representative interfaces will be have metadata
attached and will subsequently be queued to the lower device for transmission.
The lower device should recognize the metadata and translate it to HW specific
format which is most likely either a special header inserted before the network
headers or descriptor/metadata fields.

Metadata is associated with the lower device by storing the netdev pointer along
with port id so that if TC decides to redirect or mirror the new netdev will not
try to interpret it.

This is mostly for SR-IOV devices since switches don't have lower netdevs today.
