On newer chips that support the ring table index method for ntuple filters, the current scheme of using the same VNIC for both RSS and ntuple filters will not work in all cases. An ntuple filter can only be directed to a destination ring if that destination ring is also in the RSS indirection table. To support ntuple filters with any arbitratry RSS indirection table that may only include a subset of the rings, we need to use a separate VNIC for ntuple filters. This patch provisions the additional VNIC. The next patch will allocate additional VNIC from firmware and set it up.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
