These two patches add support for the RX network flow classifier set and get
rules calls already supported by the kernel.  The first patch is actually just
a cleanup patch in the manpage to make it a bit easier to do the value/mask
pairing follow ons in the second patch.

The second patch is the meat of the changes and implements the packet
classifier interface.  In updating and testing it I found a number of issues
that had to be addressed.  In resolving them though I found several features
that I felt were better off removed such as prioritization of filters which
was causing multiple issues including memory leaks and non-constructive
blocking of filter insertions due to the state of expanded priorities not
being saved.

I'm still currently exploring my options in resolving the needs for ixgbe to
have the ability to retain and display its filters and plan to submit RFC
patches in the next few days to get some feedback on that.

Thanks,

Alex
