From: Ido Schimmel <ido...@nvidia.com>
The flag indicates to user space that the nexthop is not programmed to
forward packets in hardware, but rather to trap them.
The flag will be used in subsequent patches by netdevsim to test nexthop
objects programming to device drivers and in the future by mlxsw as
well.
