"Interface can't change network namespaces" is rather an attribute,
not a feature, and it can't be changed via Ethtool.
Make it a "cold" private flag instead of a netdev_feature and free
one more bit.

There's no clear explanation of what VF Representors are for, their
 semantics, etc., outside of vendor docs and random conference slides.
Add a document explaining Representors and defining what drivers that
 implement them are expected to do.

Change occurrences of "it's" that are possessive to "its"
so that they don't read as "it is".

Even though this is clear from the context, it is nice to actually be
grammatically correct.

It looks like "make htmldocs" produces this warning:

The "bridge fdb add" command provided in the switchdev documentation is
junk now, not only because it is syntactically incorrect and rejected by
the iproute2 bridge program, but also because it was not updated in
light of Arkadi Sharshevsky's radical switchdev refactoring in commit
29ab586c3d83 ("net: switchdev: Remove bridge bypass support from
switchdev"). Try to explain what the intended usage pattern is with the
new kernel implementation.

This patch provides details on the expected behavior of switchdev
enabled network devices when operating in a "stand alone" mode, as well
as when being bridge members. This clarifies a number of things that
recently came up during a bug fixing session on the b53 DSA switch
driver.
