[Jingjing Wu <jingjing.wu@intel.com>]

--- comments alignment

--- add NIC filter support for 82576

A generic filter mechanism for handling special packet is required.
It will allow filters to be set in HW when available so that specific
packet may be filtered by NICs to specific descriptor queues for
processing. Currently only Flow Director for Intel's 10GbE 82599
devices is available. Other types of filter are not support.
NIC filters list below are implemented in this patchset:
  ethertype filter, syn filter, 2tuple filter and flex filter for 82580 and i350
  ethertype filter, syn filter, 5tuple filter for 82576 
  ethertype filter, syn filter and 5tuple filter for 82599
