Does user space actually get to see it? I would expect the HSR code
sees the EOPNOTSUPP, does not consider it an fatal error, and return 0
to user space.

If userspace does see it, maybe we should make it clearer it is not an
actually error. 

"Cannot offload more than two ports, using software bridging"

so something similar.
