Hi 

> Add action RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_SWITCH_PORT, it can be used to
> redirect a packet to a network interface that connect to the same switch
> domain, rte_ethdev's port_id is used as an identification of the destination.
> A typical use case is: with a smart NIC for vSwitch acceleration, flow is defined
> to forward packets between the switch port that is managed by Port
> Representor.
