As of now any communication between CGXs PFs and their VFs within the system is possible only by external switches sending packets back to the system. This patch adds internal switching support. Broadcast packet replication is not covered here. RVU admin function (AF) maintains MAC addresses of all interfaces in the system. When switching is enabled, MCAM entries are allocated to install rules such that packets with DMAC matching any of the internal interface MAC addresses is punted back into the system via the loopback channel. On the receive side the default unicast rules are modified to not check for ingress channel. So any packet with matching DMAC irrespective of which interface it is coming from will be forwarded to the respective PF/VF interface. The transmit side rules and default unicast rules are updated if user changes MAC address of an interface.

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.
