In preparation for publication as an IETF RFC, the WG chairs asked me to convert the document to use IETF packet format for field layout, so this patch attempts to make it consistent with other IETF documents. Some fields that are not byte aligned were previously inconsistent in how values were defined. Some were defined as the value of the byte containing the field (like 0x20 for a field holding the high four bits of the byte), and others were defined as the value of the field itself (like 0x2). This PR makes them be consistent in using just the values of the field itself, which is IETF convention. As a result, some of the defines that used BPF_* would no longer match the value in the spec, and so this patch also drops the BPF_* prefix to avoid confusion with the defines that are the full-byte equivalent values. For consistency, BPF_* is then dropped from other fields too. BPF_<foo> is thus the Linux implementation-specific define for <foo> as it appears in the BPF ISA specification. The syntax BPF_ADD | BPF_X | BPF_ALU only worked for full-byte values so the convention {ADD, X, ALU} is proposed for referring to field values instead. Also replace the redundant "LSB bits" with "least significant bits".
