Hi Ravi,

Thanks to Konstantin and Bruce on first internal review comments. This
patch is RFC for 17.05 to merge l3fwd-acl and l3fwd code and add file
read options to build LPM and EM tables.

Thanks for the patch, I think it is really useful one.
Can I suggest you re-submit it as non-RFC now, as we are in 17.05 window already?
About the patch itself, one question I forgot to ask you before:

+++ b/examples/l3fwd/main.c

@@ -161,7 +163,9 @@  static struct rte_eth_conf port_conf = {
 	.rx_adv_conf = {
 		.rss_conf = {
 			.rss_key = NULL,
-			.rss_hf = ETH_RSS_IP,
+			.rss_hf = ETH_RSS_IP | ETH_RSS_UDP |
+				ETH_RSS_TCP | ETH_RSS_SCTP,
+
 		},
 	},

Why it is necessary to change RSS hash input values?

As another nit - there are few checkpatch warnings, that probably need
to be addressed.
Apart from that looks good to me.
Thanks
Konstantin
