> This patch set adds 2 new flow director modes on Intel x550 NIC.
> The 2 new fdir modes are mac vlan mode and tunnel mode.
> The mac vlan mode can direct the flow based on the MAC address and VLAN
> TCI.
> The tunnel mode provides the support for VxLAN and NVGRE. x550 can recognize
> VxLAN and NVGRE packets, and direct the packets based on the MAC address,
> VLAN TCI, TNI/VNI.
> Surely, the MAC address, VLAN TCI, TNI/VNI can be masked, so, the flow

> Now, only x550 supports these 2 modes. We should not use the new mode on
> other NICs. If so, the ports will not be initialized successfully.

> Set default VxLAN port only when the NIC support VxLAN.

> Make mac mask more flexible.
> Add a new function for MAC VLAN and tunnel mask.
