/**
 * bier_entry : The BIER entry
 *
 * The interface to the BIER entry is through a bier_entry_t* rather
 * than an index. This is becuase the BIER table allocates the entries
 * in a contiguous array once and only once when the table is created.
 * this is done for forwarding performance. The entry is thus not subject
 * to realloc, and does not need to be malloc'd when a route to that
 * bit-position is first learned.
