When working with 12 key blocks in the A-TCAM, rules are split into two records, which constitute two lookups. The two records are linked using a "large entry key ID". The ID is assigned to key blocks 6 to 11 and resolved during the first lookup. The second lookup is performed using the ID and the remaining key blocks. Allow encoding a partial key so that it can be later used to check if an ID can be reused. This is done by adding two arguments to the existing encode function that specify the range of the block indexes we would like to encode. The key and mask arguments become optional, as we will not need to encode both of them all the time.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
