The support of doing RSS for rte_flow_action was a cool idea
but it has been broken for several releases of DPDK as the
underlying kernel and BPF infrastructure changed.
This series cleans up the BPF program, implements several
features that were never completed in the original code
and changes to use the current BPF tool chain.
The result should be easier to read and maintain. I do not
intend to support backporting this to stable releases due
to lack of demand and dealing with older distros.
v13 - Incorporate review feedback.
Drop change to statistics and queue full handling;
these will get fixed in another series.
