Adding functionality to libvirt that will allow querying the interface
for the availability of switchdev Offloading NIC capabilities.
The switchdev mode was introduced in kernel 4.8, the iproute2-devlink
command to retrieve the switchdev NIC feature with command example:
devlink dev eswitch show pci/0000:03:00.0
This feature is needed for Openstack so we can do a scheduling decision
if the NIC is in Hardware Offload (switchdev) or regular SR-IOV (legacy) mode.
And select the appropriate hypervisors with the requested capability see [1].
