 * Using the given addressing, locate the interface heirarchy used to emit packets to that destination.
 * This is the heirarchy of interfaces a packet would transit to emit from the device.
 *
 * We will use the given src/dest devices when is_routed is false.

 *
 * For example, with this network arrangement:
 *
 * PPPoE--VLAN--BRIDGE--BRIDGE_PORT(LAG_MASTER)--LAG_SLAVE_0--10.22.33.11
 *
 * Given the packet_dest_addr IP address 10.22.33.11 this will create an interface heirarchy (in interracfes[]) of:

 * VLAN @ [ECM_DB_IFACE_HEIRARCHY_MAX - 2]
 * PPPOE @ [ECM_DB_IFACE_HEIRARCHY_MAX - 1]
 * The value returned is (ECM_DB_IFACE_HEIRARCHY_MAX - 5)
