> Tunnel offload API requires application to query PMD for specific flow items
> and actions. Application uses these PMD specific elements to build flow rules
> according to the tunnel offload model.
> The model does not restrict private elements location in a flow rule, but the
> current MLX5 PMD implementation expects that tunnel offload rule will
> begin with PMD specific elements.
> The patch removes that placement limitation.
