With XL710 there are two choices:
1. Set RSS hash function to RTE_ETH_HASH_SYMMETRIC_TOEPLITZ in
the rte_eth_rss_conf passed in during configure
2. Use default (non symmetric TOEPLITZ) but pass in a rss_key that
has duplicated bits in the right place. Like:
0x6d5a 0x6d5a 0x6d5a 0x6d5a
0x6d5a 0x6d5a 0x6d5a 0x6d5a
0x6d5a 0x6d5a 0x6d5a 0x6d5a
0x6d5a 0x6d5a 0x6d5a 0x6d5a
0x6d5a 0x6d5a 0x6d5a 0x6d5a
