The PPv2 controller has 8 RSS tables that are shared across all ports on a given PPv2 instance. The previous implementation allocated one table per port, leaving others unused. By using RSS contexts, we can make use of multiple RSS tables per port, one being the default table (always id 0), the other ones being used as destinations for flow steering, in the same way as rx rings. This commit introduces RSS contexts management in the PPv2 driver. We always reserve one table per port, allocated when the port is probed. The global table list is stored in the struct mvpp2, as it's a global resource. Each port then maintains a list of indices in that global table, that way each port can have it's own numbering scheme starting from 0. One limitation that seems unavoidable is that the hashing parameters are shared across all RSS contexts for a given port. Hashing parameters for ctx 0 will be applied to all contexts.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
