> This patch implements creating and caching of port actions for use with
> HW Steering FDB flows.
> 
> Actions are created on flow template API configuration and created
> only on the port designated as master. Attaching and detaching of ports
> in the same switching domain causes an update to the port actions cache
> by, respectively, creating and destroying actions.
> 
> A new devarg fdb_def_rule_en is being added and it's used to control
> the default dedicated E-Switch rule is created by PMD implicitly or not,
> and PMD sets this value to 1 by default.
> If set to 0, the default E-Switch rule will not be created and user can
> create the specific E-Switch rule on root table if needed.
