This patch introduces improvements for matching egress traffic sent by the local device. When applicable, all egress traffic from the local vport is now tagged with the provided value. This enhancement is particularly useful for FDB steering purposes. The primary focus of this update is facilitating the transmission of traffic from the hypervisor to a VF. To achieve this, one must initiate an SQ on the hypervisor and subsequently create a rule in the FDB that matches on the eswitch manager vport and the SQN of the aforementioned SQ. Obtaining the SQN can be had from SQ opened, and the eswitch manager vport match can be substituted with the register c0 value exposed by this patch.
