Oh good point, it is in commit log. Heng Qi, thanks for writing such a
nice detailed commit log!

Here is what you wrote:
	Given that a set command is added via cvq, it make sense to also do 
	symetrric work to get it via a cvq.

and actually I missed the fact that instead of making this
symmetric it forced separate structures for GET and SET.

If we move supported_tunnel_hash_types back to config space
then GET and SET just need the active bitmap. *that* seems
symmetric to me.

And the field is RO so no memory cost to exposing it in all VFs.
