[RFC] ethdev: add send to kernel action

[Michael Savisko]

I replied to it the same day but unfortunately only to the author (see attached). My apologies.

Here's the answer:
"Depends on HW. If it can forward packets to different places then it can also be supported. But in most cases yes - for bifurcated drivers."


Regards,
Michael

This question has not been replied after a month.
Please let's be more reactive.
