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 can be directed based on the left conditions. For example, if we want to direct the flow based on the MAC address, we can use mac vlan mode with VLAN TCI masked. 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.
