The support of doing RSS for rte_flow_action was a cool idea
but it has been broken for several releases of DPDK as the
kernel and BPF infrastructure changed.
This series cleans up the BPF program, implements several
features that were never completed in the original code
and changes to use the current BPF toolchain.
The result should be easier to read and maintain.
v6 - don't build if missing TC flower, a kernel that
old is not supported. But somebody will try.
Use BPF CO:RE attribute wrapper to avoid kernel
header skew.
Stephen Hemminger (8):

doc: fix the requirements and building of TAP flow
net/tap: remove unused fields
net/tap: validate and setup parameters for BPF RSS
net/tap: stop "vendoring" linux bpf headers
net/tap: rewrite the RSS BPF program
net/tap: use libbpf to load new BPF program
net/tap: remove no longer used files
