NFP repr netdevs contain private data that can store per port information. In certain cases, the NFP driver offloads information from non-repr ports (e.g. tunnel ports). As the driver does not have control over non-repr netdevs, it cannot add/track private data directly to the netdev struct. Add infastructure to store private information on any non-repr netdev that is offloaded at a given time. This is used in a following patch to track offloaded MAC addresses for non-reprs and enable correct house keeping on address changes.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
