The NetDIM library provides excellent acceleration for many modern
network cards. However, the default profiles of DIM limits its maximum
capabilities for different NICs, so providing a way which the NIC can
be custom configured is necessary.
Currently, interaction with the driver is still based o
Extract the initialization and destruction actions
of dim for use in the next patch.

Virtio-net has different types of back-end device implementations.
In order to effectively optimize the dim library's gains for
different device implementations, let's use the new interface
params to fine-tune the profile list.
Since the profile now exists in netdevice, adding a function similar

The NetDIM library, currently leveraged by an array of NICs, delivers
excellent acceleration benefits. Nevertheless, NICs vary significantly
in their dim profile list prerequisites.
Specifically, virtio-net backends may present diverse sw or hw device
implementation, making a one-size-fits-all par
These will be used in subsequent patches, including
newly declared profile arrays.
