Patch #1 adds further clarifications to the receive and transmit wire 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 and a new extra info segment that can be used for passing hash values along with packets on both the transmit and receive side.
