This series documents changes needed to support toeplitz hashing in a
backend, configurable by the frontend.

Patch #1 is a clean-up patch that clarifies the guest transmit and
receive side packet formats.

Patch #2 documents a new 'control ring' for passing bulk data between
frontend and backend. This is needed for passing the hash mapping table
and hash key. It also documents messages to allow a frontend to configure
toeplitz hashing.

Patch #3 documents a new extra info segment that can be used for passing
hash values along with packets on both the transmit and receive side.
