Adding Flow Director sysctls to ixgbe(4) (was: netmap: traffic distribution)

[Takuya ASADA]

Hi,

I just implemented device specific ioctl with device specific configuration
tool.
It still doesn't support some important features such as:
 - FDIR enable / disable via sysctl or tunable params
 - ATR enable / disable via sysctl or tunable params
 - IPv6 support on signature filter
 - signature filter list
 - support perfect filter
But, at least it can configure signature filter manually.

Usage is as follows:
Usage: ixgbetool <ifname> [operation]
add_sig_filter <proto> <src_ip> <src_port> <dst_ip> <dst_port> <que_index>
 del_sig_filter <proto> <src_ip> <src_port> <dst_ip> <dst_port>
