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.

The upcoming release 2.1 will not contain these ABI changes, but release 2.2 will, and no backwards compatibility is planed due to this change. Binaries using this library build prior to version 2.2 will require updating and recompilation.
