Following the work that have been done on offloading classifiers like u32
and flower, now the match-all classifier hw offloading is possible. if
the interface supports tc offloading.
To control the offloading, two tc flags have been introduced: skip_sw and
skip_hw. Typical usage:
tc filter add dev eth25 parent ffff: \
matchall skip_sw \
action mirred egress mirror \
dev eth27

The matchall classifier matches every packet and allows the user to apply
actions on it. This filter is very useful in usecases where every packet
should be matched, for example, packet mirroring (SPAN) can be setup very
easily using that filter.
