Hi!

In recent months a lot of progress have been made on offloading
simpler TC classifiers.  There is also growing interest in using
BPF for generic high-speed packet processing in the kernel.
It seems beneficial to tie those two trends together and think
about hardware offloads of BPF programs.  This patch set presents
such offload to Netronome smart NICs.  cls_bpf is extended with
hardware offload capabilities and NFP driver gets a JIT translator
which in presence of capable firmware can be used to offload
the BPF program onto the card.

BPF JIT implementation is not 100% complete (e.g. missing instructions)
but it is functional - in fact I implemented only bits which clang/cBPF
used in my test programs.  Encouragingly it should be possible to
offload most (if not all) advanced BPF features onto the NIC - 
including packet modification, maps, tunnel encap/decap etc.

Examples of tests I used:

Basic eBPF/C/clang apps:
  __section_cls_entry
  int cls_entry(struct __sk_buff *skb)
  {
	if (load_byte(skb, 0) != 0x0)
		return 0;

	if (load_byte(skb, 4) != 0x1)
		return 0;

	skb->mark = 0xcafe;

	if (load_byte(skb, 50) != 0xff)
		return 0;

	return ~0U;
  }

tcpdump generated filters, for instance:
  dst 10.1.255.255 and \
  tcp and \
  (port 90 or port 91) and \
  tcp[tcpflags] & tcp-syn != 0


First patch is not really related but others depend on it, I hope to
post it separately soon.
