The Intel® Ethernet 800 Series is designed with a pipeline that has
an on-chip programmable capability called Dynamic Device Personalization
(DDP). A DDP package is loaded by the driver during probe time. The DDP
package programs functionality in both the parser and switching blocks in
the pipeline, allowing dynamic support for new and existing protocols.
Once the pipeline is configured, the driver can identify the protocol and
apply any HW action in different stages, for example, direct packets to
desired hardware queues (flow director), queue groups or drop.  

Patches 1-8 introduce a DDP package parser API that enables different
pipeline stages in the driver to learn the HW parser capabilities from 
the DDP package that is downloaded to HW. The parser library takes raw
packet patterns and masks (in binary) indicating the packet protocol fields
to be matched and generates the final HW profiles that can be applied at
the required stage. With this API, raw flow filtering for FDIR or RSS
could be done on new protocols or headers without any driver or Kernel
updates (only need to update the DDP package). These patches were submitted
before [1] but were not accepted mainly due to lack of a user.

Patches 9-11 extend the virtchnl support to allow the VF to request raw
flow director filters. Upon receiving the raw FDIR filter request, the PF
driver allocates and runs a parser lib instance and generates the hardware
profile definitions required to program the FDIR stage. These were also
submitted before [2].

Finally, patches 12 and 13 add TC U32 filter support to the iavf driver.
Using the parser API, the ice driver runs the raw patterns sent by the
user and then adds a new profile to the FDIR stage associated with the VF's
VSI. Refer to examples in patch 13 commit message.

v3:
  - Remove header inclusion re-order in ice_vf_lib.c (patch 11).
  - Fix couple of errors reported by smatch:
      - https://lore.kernel.org/all/[e-mail]/
      - https://lore.kernel.org/all/[e-mail]/
  - Add "Return:" description in kernel-docs for all new functions.
  - Use new macro ICE_MI_GBDM_GENMASK_ULL for better readability (patch 2)
  - Remove unnecessary casts in ice_parser.c and ice_parser_rt.c. 

v2:
  - No changes, just cc netdev
