This adds rule encoding functionality to the VCAP API. A rule consists of keys and actions in separate cache sections. The maximum size of the keyset or actionset determines the size of the rule. The VCAP hardware need to be able to distinguish different rule sizes from each other, and for that purpose some extra typegroup bits are added to the rule when it is encoded. The API provides a bit stream iterator that allows highlevel encoding functionality to add key and action value bits independent of typegroup bits. This is handled by letting the concrete VCAP model provide the typegroup table for the different rule sizes. After the key and action values have been added to the encoding bit streams the typegroup bits are set to their correct values just before the rule is written to the VCAP hardware. The key and action offsets provided in the VCAP model are the offset before adding the typegroup bits.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
