How vxlan_last_rsvd is linked to RTE_FLOW_FIELD_VXLAN_RSVD1 in testpmd?
Just because it is the same order?

Consider the on-the-way VxLAN extension changes, the last reserved byte was naming as "uint8_t rsvd1".

I think we should use the same naming as in testpmd.
What about RTE_FLOW_FIELD_VXLAN_LAST_RSVD?

To be honest, no strong objection per my personal thought.  Considering the API "vxlan_hdr" names this field as "uint8_t rsvd1", maybe RTE_FLOW_FIELD_VXLAN_RSVD1 will be clearer for user as 1 vs 1 mapping?
