From: Sunil Goutham <redacted> Adjusted nicvf structure such that all elements used in hot path like napi, xmit e.t.c fall into same cache line. This reduced no of cache misses and resulted in ~2% increase in no of packets handled on a core. Also modified elements with :1 notation to boolean, to be consistent with other element definitions.
