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, the way is based on the commonly used "ethto
DIM-related mode and work have been collected in one same place,
so new interfaces are added to provide convenience.

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
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
initialize and query dim results from a customized profile list.
