Subject: [net-next-2.6 PATCH 4/5] ixgbe: Add Flow Director configuration
	support as a mod parameter

From: PJ Waskiewicz <peter.p.waskiewicz.jr@...el.com>

This patch adds the ability to change the Flow Director behavior in
ixgbe through a module parameter.  ixgbe, on 82599 hardware, can support
hash-based or perfect-based filtering.  It currently uses hash-based, and
should have a knob to enable perfect-based filtering.

This will be used in conjunction with the ethtool n-tuple filter
programming support.
