There is one obvious workaround: if running on the model, the
forwarder could simply synthesize the oper status by copying the admin
status. That would work at least on the Tofino1 model, which appears
to ignore the actual oper status in any case. I'd have to check
whether that would work for the Tofino2 model as well.
