net: Introduce ife encapsulation module
This module is responsible for the ife encapsulation protocol encode/decode logics. That module can: - ife_encode: encode skb and reserve space for the ife meta header - ife_decode: decode skb and extract the meta header size - ife_tlv_meta_encode - encodes one tlv entry into the reserved ife header space. - ife_tlv_meta_decode - decodes one tlv entry from the packet - ife_tlv_meta_next - advance to the next tlv Reviewed-by: Jiri Pirko <jiri@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: Yotam Gigi <yotamg@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: Jamal Hadi Salim <jhs@mojatatu.com> Signed-off-by: Roman Mashak <mrv@mojatatu.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
