[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 00/16] unified packet type

Currently only 6 bits which are stored in ol_flags are used to indicate the packet types. This is not enough, as some NIC hardware can recognize quite a lot of packet types, e.g i40e hardware can recognize more than 150 packet types. Hiding those packet types hides hardware offload capabilities
