We tried hard to use the hardware as a storage area, which made things
needlessly complex in that we had to both marshall and unmarshall the
ethtool_rx_flow_spec into what the CFP hardware understands but it did
not require any driver level allocations, so that was nice.
Keep a copy of the ethtool_rx_flow_spec rule we want to insert, and also
make sure we don't have a duplicate rule already. This greatly speeds up
the deletion time since we only need to clear the slice's valid bit and
not perform a full read.
This is a preparatory step for being able to restore rules upon system
resumption where the hardware loses its context partially or entirely.
