Flow tables from different priorities should be chained together.
When a packet arrives we search for a match in the
by-pass flow tables (first we search for a match in priority 0
and if we don't find a match we move to the next priority).
If we can't find a match in any of the bypass flow-tables, we continue
searching in the flow-tables of the next priority, which are the
kernel's flow tables.
Setting the miss flow table in a new flow table to be the next one in
the list is performed via create flow table API. If we want to change an
existing flow table, for example in order to point from an
existing flow table to the new next-in-list flow table, we use the
modify flow table API.

Introduce the modify flow table command. This command is used when
we want to change the next flow table of an existing flow table.
The next flow table is defined as the table we search (in order
to find a match), if we couldn't find a match in any of the flow table
entries in the current flow table.

The root Flow Table for each Flow Table Type is defined,
by default, as the Flow Table with level 0.
In order not to use an empty flow tables and introduce new hops,
but still preserve space for flow-tables that have a priority
greater(lower number) than the current flow table, we introduce this
new set root flow table command.
This command tells the HW to start matching packets from the
assigned root flow table.
This command is used when we create new flow table with level lower than the
current lowest flow table or it is the first flow table.

Introduce new Flow Steering (FS) firmware commands,
in-order to support the new flow steering infrastructure.
