.map file needs to be updated for shared build.

This returns partial table and success, how caller can know if it get
full table or not?

Is returning partial table required, specially when custom offset is not
supported..

flow_type are RTE_ETH_FLOW_* values defined in rte_eth_ctrl.h which is
public header.

But how user can get pctype values, since this is part of public API,
and if application would like to use these values, is there any public
header list them?

May prefer boolean here.
