  For x550 supports 2 new flow director modes, MAC VLAN and Cloud. There're several
new lookup fields for these 2 new modes, like MAC, tunnel type, TNI, VNI. So, we
have to change the ABI to support these new lookup fields.

Please wrap it.
What means Cloud for flow director? If you think about a tunnel type, please
name it.
