As I mentioned in previous, this is a device (port) level configuration, so it can only be configured by a PF driver or a privileged VF base on our security model.
A typical usage in a NFV environment could be:

1. A privileged VF (e.g. ice_dcf PMD) use rte_eth_dev_udp_tunnel_port_add to create tunnel port for eCPRI, them this will impact on all VFs in the same PF.
2. A normal VF driver can create rte_flow rule that match specific patch for queue steering or apply RSS for eCPRI packets, but it DON'T have the permission to define the tunnel port.

So it does not help to have a rte_flow that match dst udp port as tunnel while have an action in the same rule.
