> 
> Currently, in switch mode, mlx5 PMD only supports match with dedicated vport.
> There is a use case which user may want to offload the rules only to match with
> all the packet sent by application not from vport.
> 
> Since the port_id info of packet sent by application is E-Switch manager, and
> kernel driver has exposed the E-Switch manager register value, this commit adds
> the support of register matching for E-Switch manager.
