Add ability to specify destination MAC address for L3/L4 flow spec
in order to be able to specify action for different VM's under vSwitch
configuration. This change is transparent to older userspace.

Please can you send another patch that adds kernel-doc to struct
ethtool_flow_ext explaining which fields are dependent on which flags.
