From: John Fastabend <john.r.fastab...@intel.com>
The ring_cookie is 64 bits wide which is much larger than can be used
for actual queue index values. So provide some helper routines to
pack a VF index into the cookie. This is useful to steer packets to
a VF ring without having to know the queue layout of the device.
