Hardware offloading-code is moved to a new file called netdev-rte-offloads.c. The original offloading-code is copied as is from the netdev-dpdk.c file to the new file where future offloading-code should be added as well.
This series is essential for offloading-code development for the following reasons: 1. This series does not change the existing OVS code flows/logic on master branch. OVS functionality is the same before and after this series. 2. The separation is essential for new offloading-code development without interfering with the rest of OVS development. 3. Vice versa: it is essential that while developing offloading-code - to be able to frequently rebase on top of master branch. 4. The OVS-kernel is practicing the same approach. Please note the file lib/netdev-tc-offloads.c. Based on the points mentioned above we kindly ask that the series will be applied on top of the master branch.
