Please add it at the end to avoid breaking uAPI

I'm not familiar with 802.1X so I have some questions:

1. Do we need to differentiate between no FDB entry and an FDB entry
pointing to a different port than we expect?

2. Does user space care about SAs that did not pass the check? That is,
does it need to see notifications? Counters?
