ethtool: support queue and VF fields for rxclass filters
Recent kernels have made it possible to specify filters applying to
a virtual function by partitioning the ring_cookie (action) value. The
lower 32bits will represent the queue, while the next 8bits represent
the virtual function.
Add support to view and specify the ring_cookie in this way so that
users do not have to manually create action values, and don't need to
understand the underlying layout of the ring_cookie value.
Support using queue and VF fields which will fill in their specific bits
of the ring_cookie value, using new customized OPT_RING_VF and
OPT_RING_QUEUE.
Add support to display the ring cookie value as a split VF identifier
and queue.
