+/**
+ * bier_entry : The BIER entry
+ *
+ * The interface to the BIER entry is through a bier_entry_t* rather
+ * than an index. This is becuase the BIER table allocates the entries
+ * in a contiguous array once and only once when the table is created.
+ * this is done for forwarding performance. The entry is thus not subject
+ * to realloc, and does not need to be malloc'd when a route to that
+ * bit-position is first learned.
