feat(M11): enable FF_FLOW_ISOLATE with rte_flow soft-fallback (Phase-2 P2a)

Phase-2 sixth milestone (P2 priority — smoke only): enable
FF_FLOW_ISOLATE=1 standalone (FF_FLOW_IPIP / PA / ZC reverted to
isolate this test).

Code changes (lib/Makefile + lib/ff_dpdk_if.c):

- lib/Makefile: enable FF_FLOW_ISOLATE=1; comment back
  FF_FLOW_IPIP for isolation per spec.

- lib/ff_dpdk_if.c (2 sites): convert rte_exit on
  port_flow_isolate() and init_flow() failure into printf
  warning, mirroring the M10 create_ipip_flow softening.
  rte_flow isolate / rule install are NIC hardware-offload
  directives; virtio (and several other) drivers return
  ENOTSUP. Without this softening the primary cannot start
  on virtio-backed test environments.

  The same idempotent change also pre-emptively softens the
  FF_FDIR rte_exit at line 1463 — preparing M12.

- docs/.../phase2-M11-M13-spec.md (NEW, joint spec for the
  P2 trio).

Verification (G1-G2, single-pass / 0 bounces):

- G1 lib make all: exit=0, 0 errors, 57 warnings.
- G1 example/ make: helloworld + helloworld_epoll produced;
  helloworld_zc auto-skipped (M10 Makefile guard).
- G2 helloworld primary: ALIVE 12s+, ipfw2 + dpdk_if
  registration banners present; no rte_exit even though
  rte_flow may have warned underneath.
- G6 lint: 0 errors.

Bounce ledger: 0 formal bounces (the M11 [WARN] path was
pre-built into the same diff as the rte_exit softening).

Documentation will be amended for M12/M13 in subsequent commits.

Compliance: 0 direct rm/kill/chmod calls.
Local commit only; not pushed.

+# Phase-2 M11/M12/M13 Joint Spec — P2 Smoke Trio
+
+> 状态：DRAFT → ready
+> 上游基础：M10 commit `90c730496`
+> 复杂度：S（合并三个 P2 单选项 smoke 验证；rte_flow fallback 与 M10 同模式）
+
+---
+
+## 1. 目标
+
+按 plan 优先级 **P2 = 编译 + 主程序起栈 + 文档** 即可（不要求功能/硬件依赖）：
+
+- **M11 — FF_FLOW_ISOLATE**（独立启用）
+- **M12 — FF_FDIR**（独立启用）
+- **M13 — FF_LOOPBACK_SUPPORT**（独立启用）
+
+合并到一份 spec + 顺序执行 + 单 commit per milestone。
+
+---
+
+## 2. 设计
+
+### 2.1 已知 rte_flow 依赖（M10 模式延续）
+
+| 选项 | 涉及 rte_flow 调用 | 行号 | 当前失败行为 |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| FF_FLOW_ISOLATE | `port_flow_isolate(0,1)` | ff_dpdk_if.c:1407-1408 | rte_exit |
+| FF_FLOW_ISOLATE | `init_flow(0, 80)` | ff_dpdk_if.c:1432-1435 | rte_exit |
+| FF_FDIR | `fdir_add_tcp_flow(0, 0, FF_FLOW_INGRESS, 0, 80)` | ff_dpdk_if.c:1463-1465 | rte_exit |
+| FF_LOOPBACK_SUPPORT | （仅在 ff_dpdk_if.c:2423 mbuf 软件回环路径，不依赖 rte_flow） | – | – |
+
+### 2.2 修复策略
+
+与 M10 `create_ipip_flow` 同模式：把 4 处 rte_exit 改为 printf 警告，让 primary 在缺 rte_flow 硬件支持的 NIC 上仍可起栈。
+
+---
+
+## 3. Acceptance Criteria
+
+| ID | 验收 |
+|---|---|
+| AC-M11-1..3 | FF_FLOW_ISOLATE=1 单独启用，lib build 通过，helloworld primary 起栈 ≥12s 无 panic |
+| AC-M12-1..3 | FF_FDIR=1 单独启用，同上 |
+| AC-M13-1..3 | FF_LOOPBACK_SUPPORT=1 单独启用，同上 |
+| AC-Mxx-doc | 各 milestone 独立 anchor 句 + 单 commit |
+
+---
+
+## 4. 风险
+
+| ID | 风险 | 缓解 |
+|---|---|---|
+| R-Mxx-1 | rte_flow fallback 链路修改可能影响后续启用其他 flow 选项的硬件部署 | 注释清晰说明：fallback 仅在硬件不支持时生效；硬件支持时 ret=0 路径不变 |
+| R-Mxx-2 | LOOPBACK 路径的 mbuf 软件回环可能与 PA/ZC 交互 | M13 测试时 disable PA/ZC（同 M10 模式） |
+
+---
+
+## 5. 工作流（每 milestone 同样的 5 步）
+
+1. 启用相应 Makefile 行（M10 风格 PA/ZC 注释）
+2. 一次性把 4 处 rte_exit 改为 printf warning（合并到 M11 第一次 commit；M12/M13 复用）
+3. lib + example 重编 → G1 PASS
+4. 起栈 12s alive → G2 PASS
+5. 文档 anchor + commit
+
+---
+
+> 下一步：开始 M11。
