net: dsa: Link aggregation support
Start of by adding an extra notification when adding a port to a bond,
this allows static LAGs to be offloaded using the bonding driver.
Then add the generic support required to offload link aggregates to
drivers built on top of the DSA subsystem.
Finally, implement offloading for the mv88e6xxx driver, i.e. Marvell's
LinkStreet family.
Supported LAG implementations:
- Bonding
- Team
Supported modes:
- Isolated. The LAG may be used as a regular interface outside of any
bridge.
- Bridged. The LAG may be added to a bridge, in which case switching
is offloaded between the LAG and any other switch ports. I.e. the
LAG behaves just like a port from this perspective.
In bridged mode, the following is supported:
- STP filtering.
- VLAN filtering.
- Multicast filtering. The bridge correctly snoops IGMP and configures
the proper groups if snooping is enabled. Static groups can also be
configured. MLD seems to work, but has not been extensively tested.
- Unicast filtering. Automatic learning works. Static entries are
_not_ supported. This will be added in a later series as it requires
some more general refactoring in mv88e6xxx before I can test it.
v4 -> v5:
- Cleanup PVT configuration for LAGed ports in mv88e6xxx (Vladimir)
- Document dsa_lag_{map,unmap} (Vladimir)

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
