unicast traffic, by making switchdev infrastructure propagate this setting
to the switch driver.

of ports scale in the L2 domain as the device is much more efficient at
flooding packets that software.
If supported by the device, flood control can be offloaded to it, preventing
certain netdevs from flooding unicast traffic for which there is no FDB entry.
