Oooh, that's good.  I like it.  If the port is not grouped, set
mark=ifindex.  Or mark=0 to have a dflt group for ungrouped ports.

Do you see a way to code this up?  The only thing that comes to mind
is for the swX driver to keep track of mark picked for each bridge
brY, but I was hoping you have an idea how to do this without any
storage?
