Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Use IPv6 flow labels for ECMP hash

This patch sets implements use of IPv6 flow label to provide a
network hash for ECMP (RFC 6438). On the RX side, flow_dissector is
fixed to accept a non-zero flow label as a substitue for L4
port information. On transmit side, we set the flow label to the
flow hash of a packet. This implementation should be consistent
with section 3 of RFC 6437 (Flow Labeling Requirements in the Stateless
Scenario).
