I don't think this is necessary, because the user chooses it not 
arbitrary, but depending on the NIC.

Agree, I'll fix it

At the moment I can't find scenarios why do we need to have a bulk 
version for this function

Agree, there is no point to call the callback for a single function 
call. I'll rewrite rte_thash_adjust_tuple() and send a new version an 
v3. As for gen_tuple, I think we don't need to have a separate callback,
new rte_thash_adjust_tuple implementation randomly changes corresponding 
bits (based on configured offset and length in the helper) in the tuple.
