Actions get attached to a Hardware offloaded classifiers and are
invoked after a successful classification. Actions are used to
overwrite the classification result, instantly drop or redirect and/or
reformat packets in wire speeds without involving the host cpu.
If set to N, TC offloads in both NIC and switchdev modes will be disabled.
