I mean that RSS flags are really Intel-specific. In case other NIC vendors 
would use this RSS API, it can be a problem to address. But we can wait for 
this one.
About mbuf flags, they are all zeros and useless. So a patch is needed to get 
some space and define new values (as you already explained).
And last but not the least, RTE_LIBRTE_I40E_16BYTE_RX_DESC handling is very 
strange as it can be seen in this commit:
