Subject: [RFC PATCH net-next 1/3] net: ethtool: add symmetric Toeplitz RSS hash function

Symmetric RSS hash functions are beneficial in applications that monitor
both Tx and Rx packets of the same flow (IDS, software firewalls, ..etc).
Getting all traffic of the same flow on the same RX queue results in
higher CPU cache efficiency.

Allow ethtool to support symmetric Toeplitz algorithm. A user can set the
RSS function of the netdevice via:
    # ethtool -X eth0 hfunc symmetric_toeplitz
