> The metadata register c0 field in the matcher might be split into two
> independent fields - the source vport index and META item value. These
> fields have no permanent assigned bits, the configuration is queried from the
> kernel drivers.
> 
> It means the metadata item field might be less than 32 bits.
> Also, the metadata are engaged in datapath and there are no any metadata
> endianness conversions in datapath to provide the better performance, all
> conversions are implemented in rte_flow engine. If there are less than 32
> bits of metadata the extra right shift is needed after endianness conversion
> for little- endian hosts.
