Adding a new rte_flow pattern item in the middle of enum rte_flow_item_type
breaks ABI compatibility. It's fine for 18.05 because prior series already
destroyed it, however for this patch you need to choose between:

- Adding the new entry at the end of the enum and modifying the rest of the
  code to follow the same order (preferred approach when not doing a full
  API overhaul).

*or*

- Stating in the commit log what functions are impacted by ABI changes as in
  "ethdev: remove DUP action from flow API" [1].

Also you must add a new "Item: ``VXLAN_GPE``" section to
doc/guides/prog_guide/rte_flow.rst (look for "VXLAN" for clues).

Otherwise patch is mostly fine, just a few comments below.

Should be at the end of this array if you choose to not impact ABI.

Ditto for the enum definition.

You should name the current IETF draft pending a proper RFC:

 Matches a VXLAN-GPE header (draft-ietf-nvo3-vxlan-gpe-05).

Again if you choose to not impact ABI, this should be moved further down,
after the last item definition for consistency.

Another reference to the current IETF draft here shouldn't hurt.
