Moshe Levi 8ff25e725e hardware offload support for openvswitch
In Kernel 4.8 we introduced Traffic Control (TC see [1]) hardware offloads
framework for SR-IOV VFs which allows us to configure the NIC [2].
Subsequent OVS patches [3] allow us to use the TC framework
to offload OVS datapath rules.

This patch allow OVS mech driver to bind direct (SR-IOV) port.
This will allow to offload the OVS flows using tc to the SR-IOV NIC
and gain accelerate OVS.
