The Flow Director sections of the i40e, ice and ixgbe docs are stale. The examples use ip4 where the driver needs tcp4, and the flow type lists do not match what the drivers accept. There seems to be no docs for what a raw ip4 or ip6 flow actually matches, and the semantics are confusing to newcomers. Document it.
Patches 1 and 2 update the i40e docs: the first lists the flow types the driver accepts, the second documents what the raw ip4/ip6 flows match and fixes the examples. Patch 3 does the same for ice. Patch 4 documents the raw ip4 match on ixgbe. Docs only, no code changes.
