This will be used to implement a limited form of bridge offloading.
Since the hardware does not support flow table entries with just source
and destination MAC address, the driver has to emulate it.
The hardware automatically creates entries entries for incoming flows, even
when they are bridged instead of routed, and reports when packets for these
flows have reached the minimum PPS rate for offloading.
After this happens, we look up the L2 flow offload entry based on the MAC
header and fill in the output routing information in the flow table.
The dynamically created per-flow entries are automatically removed when
either the hardware flowtable entry expires, is replaced, or if the offload
rule they belong to is removed

The hardware was designed to handle flow detection and creation of flow entries
by itself, relying on the software primarily for filling in egress routing
information.
When there is a hash collision between multiple flows, this allows the hardware
to maintain the entry for the most active flow.
Additionally, the hardware only keeps offloading active for entries with at
least 30 packets per second.
With this rework, the code no longer creates a hardware entries directly.
Instead, the hardware entry is only created when the PPE reports a matching
unbound flow with the minimum target rate.
In order to reduce CPU overhead, looking for flows belonging to a hash entry
is rate limited to once every 100ms.
This rework is also used as preparation for emulating bridge offload by
managing L4 offload entries on demand.

The intention is for the loop to timeout if the body does not succeed.
The current logic calls time_is_before_jiffies(timeout) which is false
until after the timeout, so the loop body never executes.
Fix by using readl_poll_timeout as a more standard and less error-prone
solution.

The PPE (packet processing engine) is used to offload NAT/routed or even
bridged flows. This patch brings up the PPE and uses it to get a packet
hash. It also contains some functionality that will be used to bring up
flow offloading.
