I'm running into annoying compiler warnings [-Wenum-conversion]
about enum conversions.  I'll try to workaround this...
The easiest solution seem to be to only have a single enum, that both 
contains the BIT()s and combinations of bits (for driver usage).

E.g.
  warning: implicit conversion from 'enum xdp_rss_type_bits' to 'enum 
xdp_rss_hash_type' [-Wenum-conversion]
