We've been able to get buy so far without a user-visible device for
the switch.  The switch ports are represented by netdevs, so that's
easy.  How can we create an object for the switch itself, so we can
attach common interfaces for the user to dump switch-level stats or
tables?   Using another netdev doesn't seem right.  Do we need a new
device class for switches, and then create some common tool/interfaces
for switch device class?
