These functionalities are also referred to as flow-steering.\nTo configure a steering rule, the rule is written to the device owned\nmemory, this memory is accessed and cached by the device when processing\na packet.\n\nThe highlight of this patchset is supporting HW Steering (HWS) which\nis the new technology supported in new ConnectX devices, HWS allows\nconfiguring steering rules directly to the HW using special HW queues\nwith minimal CPU effort.\n\nThis patchset is the internal low layer implementation for HWS used by\nthe mlx5 PMD. The mlx5dr (direct rule) is layer that bridges between the\nPMD and the HW by configuring the HW offloads based on the PMD logic\n\nv2:\nFix check patch and cosmetic changes\n\nv3:\n-Fix unsupported
