In table_autotest, the structures containing the parameters
to create the tables were not initialized, and therefore,
some checks could fail and so the unit test.
Also, due to this initialization, one of the tests that was
checking if the table was improperly initialized has been
removed, as it is not needed anymore (duplicated)

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.

Test failed on verification if number of bytes
transmitted on each slave is not less than 90%
and greater than 110% of mean value of bytes transmitted
thru one slave. This was verified on a real system
but is difficult to achieve using virtualpmd.
That's why for unit tests only, it is sufficient to verify that with
high load (2 seconds transmission) all slaves are transmitting
so the traffic is balanced.

There is no sync between host and guest to allow removal of memzones,
and freeing them result in undefined behavior.
In the guest, we identify IVSHMEM memsegs/memzones by having
ioremap_addr != 0. In the host, nothing is done to the memzone, meaning
ioremap_addr == 0.
As a solution, mark memzones being added to IVSHMEM in the host, by
setting ioremap_addr, then return an error whenever we try to free an
IVSHMEM memzone.
