Previously, the pipeline build operation was done based on the
specification file (typically produced by the P4 compiler), then the C
code with optimized functions for the pipeline actions and
instructions was generated, built into a shared object library, loaded
and installed into the pipeline in a completely hardcoded and
non-customizable way.
Now, this process is split into three explicit stages:
i) code generation (specification file -> C file);
ii) code build (C file -> shared object library);
iii) code installation (library load into the pipeline).
