Sorry for not catching this series before.

As it has been said several times on this mailing list,
the flow director API is deprecated.
I think everybody here knows that it is going to be replaced
by rte_flow.

That's why it does not make sense to extend flow director.
We are not going to update PMDs to support a new type
of legacy flow director.
Please focus your efforts on rte_flow.
