Up until now we had a dedicated struct only for vFIDs, but before introducing support for L3 interfaces we need to make it generic and use it for all three types of FIDs: 1) FIDs - 0..4K-1, used for the VLAN-aware bridge 2) vFIDs - 4K..15K-1, used for VLAN-unaware bridges 3) rFIDs - 15K..16K-1, used to direct traffic to / from the router in the device. Will be introduced later in the series. The three types of L3 interfaces - Router InterFaces, RIFs - that will be introduced correspond to the three types of FIDs and are configured using them. Therefore, we'll need to store the links between them as well as a reference count on the underlying FID, so that the corresponding RIF will be destroyed when it reaches zero. Note that the lower 0.5K vFIDs are currently used for for non-bridged netdevs, so that traffic could be flooded to the CPU port. However, when rFIDs will be introduced we'll no longer need these and they too will be used for VLAN-unaware bridges. Make the vFID struct generic by renaming it and some of its fields. FIDs will be converted to use it later in the series. Signed-off-by:
