L2 Emulation is a feautre that is applied to L2 ports to 'extract'
IP packets from the L2 path and inject them into the L3 path (i.e.
into the appropriate ip[4|6]_input node).
L3 routes in the table_id for that interface should then be configured
as DVR routes, therefore the forwarded packet has the L2 header
preserved and togehter the L3 routed system behaves like an L2 bridge.

A distributed virtual router works by attmpeting to switch a packet, but on failing to find a local consumer (i.e. the packet is destined to a locally attached host) then the packet is sent unmodified 'upstream' to where the rest of the 'distributed' router is present. When L3 switching a packet this means the L2 header must not be modifed. This patch adds a 'l2-bridge' object to the L3 FIB which re-injects packets from the L3 path back into the L2 path - use with extreme caution.
