Subject: [RFC] act_cpu: redirect skb receiving to a special CPU.

I am going to implement a CPU action, which can be used with ingress
qdisc to redirect skb receiving to a special cpu. It is much like RPS,
but more flexible:

* choose the hash function with the help of cls_flow.c
* pin special traffic to a dedicate CPU
* weighted packets distributing

act_cpu will use the function enqueue_to_backlog() supplied by RPS to
redirect skb receiving, and have two kind paramter:

* cpu CPUID - the ID of CPU, which handles this traffic
* map OFFSET - map the mirror class ID to CPUID: CPUID = mirror class ID + CPUID

sch_ingress will be enhanced to support class tree.
