I'm actually not sure what the requirements are to run these offload
tests. I tried running them on a 4.4 kernel, and the first test passed
while the second failed; I assume that this is because 4.4's TC flower
support is not new enough.

Then I tried with a 4.12 kernel and neither test passed, and I have
extra flows being reported in the dump-flows output.

I believe that I understand what this patch is trying to achieve, but
I don't know how I'm supposed to validate it.
