This patch defines new RSS offload types for IPv4 and
L4(TCP/UDP/SCTP) checksum, which are required when users want to
distribute packets based on the IPv4 or L4 checksum field.

For example "flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end actions
rss types ipv4-chksum end queues end / end", this flow causes all
matching packets to be distributed to queues on basis of IPv4
checksum.

Ok, Thanks.
