Replace the "reserved2" field with the "packet_type" field and add the "inner_l2_l3_len" field in the rte_mbuf structure.
The "packet_type" field is used to indicate ordinary packet format and also tunneling packet format such as IP in IP, IP in GRE, MAC in GRE and MAC in UDP.
The "inner_l2_len" and the "inner_l3_len" fields are added in the second cache line, they use 2 bytes for TX offloading of tunnels.
