> No driver supports for IPIP tunnels yet, give up early on setting up the
> hardware offload for this scenario.
>
> This patch adds a stub that can be enhanced to add more configuration
> that are currently not supported. As of now, the offload work is
> enqueued to the worker, then ignored if the hardware offload
> configuration is not supported.
>
> Check the NF_FLOW_HW flag to know if this entry was already tried once
> to be offloaded so this is not retried on refresh when unsupported. Move
> NF_FLOW_HW flag check to nf_flow_offload_add(). If this NF_FLOW_HW flag
> is unset the _del and _stats variants are never called.
>
> This can be updated later on to skip hardware offload work to be queued
> in case hardware offload does not support it.
