> The "send_to_kernel" action is shared and created during the HWS configuration
> stage. By default, the NIC Rx and Tx flags are needed.

> There is only one case that the FDB* flags are needed when creating the action,
> the same as other shared actions. Only the transfer proxy port needs the FDB*
