1. It discards packets with matching DMAC, regardless of ingress port. I
read the document [1] you linked to in a different reply and could not
find anything against this approach, so this might be fine or at least
not very significant.

Note that this means that "locked" entries need to be notified to device
drivers so that they will install a matching entry in the HW FDB.

I just want to be completely sure as what should be done in version 5 
with locked entries from the bridge, as - if I should implement it so 
that they are sent to all the drivers, and the drivers then ignore them 
if they don't need to take action? (for the mv88e6xxx driver, it does 
not need them and can ignore but other drivers might need.)
