Representors do not want to be subject to the PF's Ethernet address
filters, since traffic from VFs will typically have a destination
either elsewhere on the link segment or on an overlay network.
So, create a dynamic m-port with promiscuous and all-multicast
filters, and set it as the egress port of representor default rules.
Since the m-port is an alias of the calling PF's own m-port, traffic
will still be delivered to the PF's RXQs, but it will be subject to
the VNRX filter rules installed on the dynamic m-port (specified by
the v-port ID field of the filter spec).

Default rules are low-priority switching rules which the hardware uses
in the absence of higher-priority rules. Each representor requires a
corresponding rule matching traffic from its representee VF and
delivering to the PF (where a check on INGRESS_MPORT in
__ef100_rx_packet() will direct it to the representor). No rule is
required in the reverse direction, because representor TX uses a TX
override descriptor to bypass the MAE and deliver directly to the VF.
Since inserting any rule into the MAE disables the firmware's own
default rules, also insert a pair of rules to connect the PF to the
physical network port and vice-versa.

Traffic delivered to the (MAE admin) PF could be from either the wire
or a VF. The INGRESS_MPORT field of the RX prefix distinguishes these;
base_mport is the value this field will have for traffic from the wire
(which should be delivered to the PF's netdevice, not a representor).

An MAE port, or m-port, is a port (source/destination for traffic) on
the Match-Action Engine (the internal switch on EF100).
Representors will use their representee's m-port for two purposes: as
a destination override on TX from the representor, and as a source
match in 'default rules' to steer representee traffic (when not
matched by e.g. a TC flower rule) to representor RX via the parent
PF's receive queue.
