This adds a small internal mapping table so that a new bpf (xdp) kfunc can perform lookups in a flowtable. As-is, xdp program has access to the device pointer, but no way to do a lookup in a flowtable -- there is no way to obtain the needed struct without questionable stunts. This allows to obtain an nf_flowtable pointer given a net_device structure. In order to keep backward compatibility, the infrastructure allows the user to add a given device to multiple flowtables, but it will always return the first added mapping performing the lookup since it assumes the right configuration is 1:1 mapping between flowtables and net_devices.

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 reStructuredText 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.
