The caps are used for the HW device to publish the supported 
capabilities/limitation, while the feature bit is used for the DDP 
enablement "per net-device".

Disabling will be required in case that another feature which is 
mutually exclusive to the DDP is needed (as an example in the mlx case, 
CQE compress which is controlled from ethtool).

Right, thanks, we will remove it.

We were trying to follow the TLS design which is similar.
Can you please clarify what do you mean by "rather than to ops.."?

We are not planning to implement pure TCP placement.
As we will present in the netdev, this is doable only if the HW is L5 aware.

We can simplify the layering by using union per ulp_ddp_type.
There are no nvme structures or definitions needed in ulp_ddp.

We will change it to caps.
