If the following command sequence:
1. The driver sets hash_tunnel_types using the SET command and saves it
somewhere e.g. virtnet_info->hash_tunnel_types_saved.
2. The driver fetches hash_tunnel_types using the GET command, which should
be equal to virtnet_info->hash_tunnel_types_saved (or even returned from
virtnet_info->hash_tunnel_types_saved, like RSS).
3. The driver sets hash_tunnel_types again using the SET command and saves
it in virtnet_info->hash_tunnel_types_saved.

But I think your enhanced proposal is also feasible, after all, before
for example RSS etc. we only have SET command can work very well.

SET carries an additional 32 bits of information. But if you think this
will make the overall structure more concise, I'm ok.

It's OK.

And:
For the GET command, both fields are WO for the device.
For the SET command, \field{supported_tunnel_types} is RO for the device
and \field{enabled_tunnel_types} is WO for the device.

Giving too specific advice would be too specific, which we discussed a

The reason we're describing it broadly here is that this is done by
devices, which usually know what to do, and can also take actions
off-device, such as firewalls off-device, etc.

Ok. And 'any bits' instead of 'any value' I think.

When the driver uses the GET command, the device should preferably
return the corresponding value..
