d0a5972213 Revert "Enforce FIB table creation before use"
This reverts commit f9342023c19887da656133e2688a90d70383b0c5.

Reverting to unblock master. No idea why jjb +1ed this patch! On closer inspection it looks like it -1ed it and subsequently changed opinion. CSIT tests should be fixed before re-merging.

6f63115603 Distributed Virtual Router Support
A distributed virtual router works by attmpeting to switch a packet, but on failing to find a local consumer (i.e. the packet is destined to a locally attached host) then the packet is sent unmodified 'upstream' to where the rest of the 'distributed' router is present. When L3 switching a packet this means the L2 header must not be modifed. This patch adds a 'l2-bridge' object to the L3 FIB which re-injects packets from the L3 path back into the L2 path - use with extreme caution.
