Filtering capabilities depend on NIC family and used firmware
variant. Provided API allows to get supported filter types
(in a priority order), add/delete individual filters and
restore entire filter table after, for example, NIC management
CPU reboot.
Rx filters allow to redirect matching flow to specified Rx queue.
Tx filters allow to control generated traffic (e.g. to implement
virtual function anti-spoofing control).
EFSYS_OPT_FILTER should be enabled to use it. It is required
for SFN7xxx and SFN8xxx adapter families support.

libefx is a platform-independent library to implement drivers
for Solarflare network adapters. It provides unified adapter
family independent interface (if possible).
Driver must provide efsys.h header which defines options
(EFSYS_OPT_*) to be used and macros/functions to allocate
memory, read/write DMA-mapped memory, read/write PCI BAR
space, locks, barriers etc.
efx.h and efx_types.h provide external interfaces intended
to be used by drivers. Other header files are internal.
