The generic Flow rule for tunnels looks like:
flow create <attributes> <port> \
<tunnel outer items pattern> \
<tunnel vni item> \
<tunnel inner items pattern>
Current design supports only L2 addresses as inner pattern
items. This patchset adds support for L3 (IPv4/IPv6) addresses
and L4 (TCP/UDP) ports items as inner tunnel parameters.
Also this patchset adds support for inner and outer ethernet
types for the E-Switch Flows with tunnels. Inner and outer ethernet
type match can be specified with ethernet items, vlan items, or
implicitly deduced from IP address items. The tcm_info field
in Netlink message tcm structure is filled always with outer
protocol.
