Introduce abstraction that represents P4 data types.
This also introduces the Kconfig and Makefile which later patches use.
Numeric types could be little, host or big endian definitions. The abstraction
also supports defining:

a) bitstrings using P4 annotations that look like "bit<X>" where X
   is the number of bits defined in a type

b) bitslices such that one can define in P4 as bit<8>[0-3] and
   bit<16>[4-9]. A 4-bit slice from bits 0-3 and a 6-bit slice from bits
   4-9 respectively.

c) speacialized types like dev (which stands for a netdev), key, etc

Each type has a bitsize, a name (for debugging purposes), an ID and
methods/ops. The P4 types will be used by externs, dynamic actions, packet
headers and other parts of P4TC.

Each type has four ops:

- validate_p4t: Which validates if a given value of a specific type
  meets valid boundary conditions.

- create_bitops: Which, given a bitsize, bitstart and bitend allocates and
  returns a mask and a shift value. For example, if we have type
  bit<8>[3-3] meaning bitstart = 3 and bitend = 3, we'll create a mask
  which would only give us the fourth bit of a bit8 value, that is, 0x08.
  Since we are interested in the fourth bit, the bit shift value will be 3.
  This is also useful if an "irregular" bitsize is used, for example,
  bit24. In that case bitstart = 0 and bitend = 23. Shift will be 0 and
  the mask will be 0xFFFFFF00 if the machine is big endian.

- host_read : Which reads the value of a given type and transforms it to
  host order (if needed)

- host_write : Which writes a provided host order value and transforms it
  to the type's native order (if needed)

I'm sorry for the additional questions/points below which could/should
have been flagged earlier.

Out of sheer ignorance IDK if a single P4 command could use multiple
types, possibly use NL_SET_ERR_MSG_FMT_MOD() and specify the bogus
value/range.

The same point/question has a few other instances below.

The first condition 'val > container_maxsz' is a bit confusing
(unneeded), as 'val' type is u32 and 'container_maxsz' is U32_MAX

(Not specifically related to _this_ allocation) I'm wondering if the
allocations in this file should GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT? If I read correctly
the user-space can (and is expected to) create an quite large number of
instances of this structs (???)

possibly

#undef HWRITE

?

Otherwise LGTM!

yes, that would be a more useful message. Will change.

I think changing to GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT would be useful regardless
especially because we are namespace aware.. Yes, there could be
millions of table entries in some cases.
