Add app for flower offload. At this point the PF netdev and phys port
representor netdevs are initialised. Follow-up work will add support for
VF and PF representors and beyond that offloading the flower classifier.

FWIW, repeating here my comment made on the V1 cover letter, in case you
want to discuss it here V2 -- the VF reps can apply for more use cases
beyond flower offload -- e.g FDB or FIB offloads and also the other way
around, flower offloads can apply to more use cases beyond SRIOV, as any
easy example, you can offload native NIC RX TC rule (drop, header
re-write, etc).

Not sure why you want to make this tie

Lets discuss in the v1 thread as I have now replied there.
