As we discussed in v15 about extending outer src udp port hash capability for RSS
configuration, I rethink that it also needs a new feature bit. Because when a
device that supports outer src udp port hash is migrated to a device
that does not support that, the migration was successful but not as expected.

The RSS extension is orthogonal to the inner header hash.
So I plan to organize the symmetric toeplitz hash suggested by Michael earlier
and the outer src udp port hash together as an RSS extension to initiate a patch(set).

Thanks!
