PATCH v5 1/2 ethtool: Add helper routines to pass vf to rx_flow_spec

The ring_cookie is 64 bits wide which is much larger than can be used for actual queue index values. So provide some helper routines to pack a VF index into the cookie. This is useful to steer packets to a VF ring without having to know the queue layout of the device.

PATCH v5 2/2 ixgbe: Allow flow director to use entire queue space

Flow director is exported to user space using the ethtool ntuple support. However, currently it only supports steering traffic to a subset of the queues in use by the hardware. This change allows flow director to specify queues that have been assigned to virtual functions by partitioning the ring_cookie into a 8bit vf specifier followed by 32bit queue index. At the moment we don't have any ethernet drivers with more than 2^32 queues on a single function as best I can tell and nor do I expect this to happen anytime soon. This way the ring_cookie's normal use for specifying a queue on a specific PCI function continues to work as expected.
