Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH 01/10] ethdev: add a generic flow and new
behavior switch to fdir

Add a new raw packet flow that allows specifying generic flow input.

Add the ability to provide masks for fields in flow to allow range of values.

Add a new behavior switch.

Add the ability to provide behavior arguments to allow rewriting matched
fields with new values. Ex: allows to provide new ip and port addresses to
rewrite the fields of packets matching a filter rule before NAT'ing.
