This patch set adds the support of E-tag offloading and forwarding on X550. The offloading means E-tag can be inserted and stripped by HW. And E-tag packets can be recognized and forwarded to specific pools based on GRP and E-CID_base in E-tag.
E-tag is defined in IEEE802.1br. Please reference http://www.ieee802.org/1/pages/802.1br.html. V2: * Add the introduction for E-tag. V3: * Add the hlep info for the new CLIs. * Update the doc for testpmd. * Update the E-tag insertion setting. Should insert different tunnel id for every VF, not a common one for all. V4: * Fix strippig is not working issue. * Update the filter adding function. Make sure there's only one filter entry for one tunnel entry. * Update the release note to add some info about how to use this feature.
