In existing code the match on tagged/untagged packets is not explicit.
Recent documentation update [1] describes the different patterns and
clarifies the intended use of different patterns.

This patch proposes an update to ETH item struct, to clearly define the
required characteristic of a packet, and enable precise match criteria.
