+ * Table lookup
+ *
+ * The table lookup operation seaches a given key in the table and upon its

+ * the action_data associated with the key are also returned.
+ *
+ * Multiple invocations of this function may be required in order to complete a

+ * in case of a return value of 0, the function must be invoked again with
+ * exactly the same arguments.
+ *
+ * The mailbox argument is used to store the context of an on-going table lookup
+ * operation. The mailbox mechanism allows for multiple concurrent table lookup
+ * operations into the same table.
+ *
+ * The typical reason an implementation may choose to split the table lookup
+ * operation into multiple steps is to hide the latency of the inherrent memory
+ * read operations: before a read operation with the source data likely not in
+ * the CPU cache, the source data prefetch is issued and the table lookup
+ * operation is postponed in favor of some other unrelated work, which the CPU
+ * executes in parallel with the source data being fetched into the CPU cache;
+ * later on, the table lookup operation is resumed, this time with the source
+ * data likely to be read from the CPU cache with no CPU pipeline stall, which
+ * significantly improves the table lookup performance.
+ *
+ * @param[in] table
+ *   Table handle.
+ * @param[in] mailbox
+ *   Mailbox for the current table lookup operation.
+ * @param[in] key
+ *   Lookup key. Its size mult be equal to the table *key_size*. If the latter
+ *   is zero, then the lookup key must be NULL.
+ * @param[out] action_id
+ *   ID of the action associated with the *key*. Must point to a valid 64-bit
+ *   variable. Only valid when the function returns 1 and *hit* is set to true.
+ * @param[out] action_data
+ *   Action data for the *action_id* action. Must point to a valid array of
+ *   table *action_data_size* bytes. Only valid when the function returns 1 and
+ *   *hit* is set to true.
+ * @param[out] hit
