Alexander Duyck 905e4a4163 ixgbe: cleanup flow director hash computation to improve performance
This change cleans up the layout of the flow director data, and the
algorithm used to calculate the hash resulting in a 35x / 3500% performance
increase versus the old flow director hash computation.  The overall effect
is only a 1% increase in transactions per second though due to the fact
that only 1 packet in 20 are actually hashed upon.
