ice: create advanced switch recipe
These changes introduce code for creating advanced recipes for the switch in hardware. There are a couple of recipes already defined in the HW. They apply to matching on basic protocol headers, like MAC, VLAN, MACVLAN, ethertype or direction (promiscuous), etc.. If the user wants to match on other protocol headers (eg. ip address, src/dst port etc.) or different variation of already supported protocols, there is a need to create new, more complex recipe. That new recipe is referred as 'advanced recipe', and the filtering rule created on top of that recipe is called 'advanced rule'. One recipe can have up to 5 words, but the first word is always reserved for match on switch id, so the driver can define up to 4 words for one recipe. To support recipes with more words up to 5 recipes can be chained, so 20 words can be programmed for look up. Input for adding recipe function is a list of protocols to support. Based on this list correct profile is being chosen. Correct profile means that it contains all protocol types from a list. Each profile have up to 48 field vector words and each of this word have protocol id and offset. These two fields need to match with input data for adding recipe function. If the correct profile can't be found the function returns an error. The next step after finding the correct profile is grouping words into groups. One group can have up to 4 words. This is done to simplify sending recipes to HW (because recipe also can have up to 4 words). In case of chaining (so when look up consists of more than 4 words) last recipe will always have results from the previous recipes used as words. A recipe to profile map is used to store information about which profile is associate with this recipe. This map is an array of 64 elements (max number of recipes) and each element is a 256 bits bitmap (max number of profiles) Profile to recipe map is used to store information about which recipe is associate with this profile.
