> Definers are HW objects that are used for matching, rte items
> are translated to definers, each definer holds the fields and
> bit-masks used for HW flow matching. The definer layer is used
> for finding the most efficient definer for each set of items.
> In addition to definer creation we also calculate the field
> copy (fc) array used for efficient items to WQE conversion.
