commit b2a1f740aa4d37b0a15a1a8ea866a29d5fab4591

    tc: flower: document that *_ip parameters take a PREFIX as an argument.

    * The argument to src_ip, dst_ip, enc_src_ip and enc_dst_ip take an
      optional prefix length which is used to provide a mask to limit the scope
      of matching.
    * This is documented as a PREFIX in keeping with ip-route(8).

    Example of uses of IPv4 and IPv6 prefixes

    tc qdisc add dev eth0 ingress
    tc filter add dev eth0 protocol ip parent ffff: flower \
        indev eth0 dst_ip 192.168.1.1 action drop
    tc filter add dev eth0 protocol ip parent ffff: flower \
        indev eth0 src_ip 10.0.0.0/8 action drop
    tc filter add dev eth0 protocol ipv6 parent ffff: flower \
        indev eth0 src_ip 2001:DB8:1::/48 action drop
    tc filter add dev eth0 protocol ipv6 parent ffff: flower \
        indev eth0 dst_ip 2001:DB8::1 action drop
