net: ixgbe: add minimal parser details for ixgbe
BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1547674 This adds an ixgbe data structure that is used to determine what headers:fields can be matched and in what order they are supported. For hardware devices this can be a bit tricky because typically only pre-programmed (firmware, ucode, rtl) parse graphs will be supported and we don't yet have an interface to change these from the OS. So its sort of a you get whatever your friendly vendor provides affair at the moment. In the future we can add the get routines and set routines to update this data structure. One interesting thing to note here is the data structure here identifies ethernet, ip, and tcp fields without having to hardcode them as enumerations or use other identifiers.
