  The patch extends existing virtchnl_proto_hdrs structure to allow VF
to pass a pair of buffers as packet data and mask that describe
a match pattern of a filter rule. Then the kernel PF driver is requested
to parse the pair of buffer and figure out low level hardware metadata
(ptype, profile, field vector.. ) to program the expected FDIR or RSS
rules.

INTERNAL ONLY:

This is requirement from DPDK to support Protocol Agnostic Flow
Offloading(*1). Previously we have integrated the Parser Library(*2)
into DPDK and enabled a raw packet based FDIR and RSS support in DPDK
PF driver(*3,*4), to enable the same feature for AVF driver, we need
Virtual Channel to support raw packet filter rule passing.
