This is just an RFC patch for now, as I'm looking for input to make sure 
this is done right. Couple of opens, if people have input:
* is a 32/32 split for RX/TX flags appropriate? Are we likely to have about 
  equal numbers of each?
* Doing a grep for the TX flag use, it seems the defines are commonly used, 
  but if anyone is aware of anywhere where the code depends on the flags  
having a particular value, please let me know.

If I have time, I also hope to look at doing rework on the testpmd flag 
handling based off Olivier's previous patches, but since that is not 
affecting the public ABI, I consider it a bit lower priority.

Thanks,
