For x550 supports 2 new flow director modes, MAC VLAN and Cloud.
The MAC VLAN mode means the MAC and VLAN are monitored.
The Cloud mode is for VxLAN and NVGRE, and the tunnel type,
TNI/VNI, inner MAC and inner VLAN are monitored.
So, there're a few new lookup fields for these 2 new modes, like MAC,
tunnel type, TNI/VNI.
We have to change the ABI to support these new lookup fields.

When using VM power manager app on systems with more than 64 cores,
app could not run even though user does not use cores 64 or higher.
The problem happens only in that case, in which case it will result
in an undefined behaviour.
Thefere, this patch allows the user to run the app on a system with more
than 64 cores, warning the user not to use cores higher than 64 in the VM(s).
Add new known issue where VM power manager app may not work
in a system with more than 64 cores, in release notes.
