Jiri Pirko says:

====================
introduce programable flow dissector and cls_flower

Per Davem's request, I prepared this patchset which introduces programmable
flow dissector. For current users of flow_keys, there is a wrapper
skb_flow_dissect_flow_keys which maintains the previous behaviour.
For purposes of cls_flower, couple of new dissection keys were introduced.

Note that this dissector can be also eventually used by openvswitch code.

Also, as a next step, I plan to get rid of *skb_flow_get_ports(export)
and *__skb_get_poff as their functionality can be now implemented by
skb_flow_dissect as well.

v2->v3:
- remove TCA_FLOWER_POLICE attr suggested by Jamal

v1->v2:
- move __skb_tx_hash rather to dev.c as suggested by Alex
