Flow director API is deprecated for almost 2 years:
	http://git.dpdk.org/dpdk/commit/?id=7fdcde6
We asked several times to stop using it in i40e.
It has not been listened.
We have even accepted a workaround in flow_filtering example for i40e: 
	http://git.dpdk.org/dpdk/commit/?id=9a93446
We need to stop and move all to a common rte_flow API.

As a consequence, I will be against this patch.
