Hi,

This series adds ntuple filter, RSS context, and flow steering
support to bnge driver.
Patch 1 is a pure refactor (no functional change) that relocates the
filter and VNIC related code into the appropriate files. Patch 7 drops
the refcount usage from L2 filters, also with no functional change.
The subsequent patches then add the ethtool commands for configuring 
ntuple flows and RSS contexts.

Thanks,
Vikas

    Below Sashiko comments are not valid:
     Patch-8: 
                Comment under bnge_toeplitz().
                 Explanation: bnge_toeplitz() is not used for aRFS.
     Patch-9:
                Comment regarding bnge_clear_usr_fltrs().
                 Explanation:
                  Both bnge_clear_usr_fltrs() (only invoked while the
                  interface is down) and bnge_grxclsrule() execute
                  under the netdev instance lock, so they are
                  serialized and never touch the filter list at the 
                  same time.
      Patch-10: 
                Comment "Does this direct dereference of the MAC
                header need a linearization ...".
                 Explanation: ndo_rx_flow_steer runs on the RX path
                after eth_type_trans(), which already accesses and
                pulls the Ethernet header.

                Comment Related to bnge_cfg_ntp_filters().
                 Explanation:
                   bnge_cfg_ntp_filters() runs from bnge_sp_task(),
                   which holds the netdev instance lock while executing.
v1->v2:
