[dpdk-dev] [RFC] ethdev: extend RSS offload types

[simei]

From: Simei Su <simei.su at intel.com>

This RFC reserves several bits as input set selection from
bottom of the 64 bits. The flow type is combined with input set
to represent rss types.

for example:
    ETH_RSS_IPV4 | ETH_RSS_L3_SRC_ONLY: hash on src ip address only
    ETH_RSS_IPV4_UDP | ETH_RSS_L4_DST_ONLY: hash on src/dst IP and
				            dst UDP port
    ETH_RSS_L2_PAYLOAD | ETH_RSS_L2_DST_ONLY: hash on dst mac address
