There is no intuitive option to add static fdb entries today.
'temp' seems to have a side effect of adding
'static' fdb entries. But the name and intent
of 'temp' does not say anything about it being static.

example:
bridge fdb add operates as follows:

$bridge fdb add 00:01:02:03:04:05 dev eth0 master
$bridge fdb add 00:01:02:03:04:06 dev eth0 master temp
$bridge fdb add 00:01:02:03:04:07 dev eth0 master local

$bridge fdb show
00:01:02:03:04:05 dev eth0 permanent
00:01:02:03:04:06 dev eth0 static
00:01:02:03:04:07 dev eth0 permanent
00:01:02:03:04:08 dev eth0 <<== dynamic, ageable learned mac

This patch adds a new bridge fdb type 'static' which
makes sure NUD_NOARP and NUD_REACHABLE is set for static
entries. This effectively is nothing but what 'temp'
does today. But the name 'temp' is misleading.

After the patch:
$bridge fdb add 00:01:02:03:04:06 dev eth0 master static

$bridge fdb show
00:01:02:03:04:06 dev eth0 static

'temp' could ideally be a dynamic mac that can age (ie just
NUD_REACHABLE). But, 'temp' sets 'NUD_NOARP' and 'NUD_REACHABLE'.
Too late to change 'temp' now. But, we are thinking of introduing a
'dynamic' keyword after this patch that only sets NUD_REACHABLE.
