      bpf, docs: Use IETF format for field definitions in instruction-set.rst · 4e73e1bc
      Dave Thaler authored
      In preparation for publication as an IETF RFC, the WG chairs asked me
      to convert the document to use IETF packet format for field layout, so
      this patch attempts to make it consistent with other IETF documents.
      
      Some fields that are not byte aligned were previously inconsistent
      in how values were defined.  Some were defined as the value of the
      byte containing the field (like 0x20 for a field holding the high
      four bits of the byte), and others were defined as the value of the
      field itself (like 0x2).  This PR makes them be consistent in using
      just the values of the field itself, which is IETF convention.
      
      As a result, some of the defines that used BPF_* would no longer
      match the value in the spec, and so this patch also drops the BPF_*
      prefix to avoid confusion with the defines that are the full-byte
      equivalent values.  For consistency, BPF_* is then dropped from
      other fields too.  BPF_<foo> is thus the Linux implementation-specific
      define for <foo> as it appears in the BPF ISA specification.
      
      The syntax BPF_ADD | BPF_X | BPF_ALU only worked for full-byte
      values so the convention {ADD, X, ALU} is proposed for referring
      to field values instead.
      
      Also replace the redundant "LSB bits" with "least significant bits".
