CRIFs are objects that mlxsw maintains for netdevices that may not have an associated RIF (i.e. they may not have been instantiated in the ASIC), but if indeed they do not, it is quite possible they will in the future. These netdevices are candidate RIFs, hence CRIFs. Netdevices for which CRIFs are created include e.g. bridges, LAGs, or front panel ports. The idea is that next hops would be kept at CRIFs, not RIFs, and thus it would be easier to offload and unoffload the entities that have been added before the RIF was created. In this patch, add the code for low-level CRIF maintenance: create and destroy, and keep in a table keyed by the netdevice pointer for easy recall.

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.
