To support more meters and better performance,
MLX HW provides ASO (Advanced Steering Operation) flow meter.
It can expose millions of ASO flow meter context's in HW.
This ASO object can allocate the large bulk meter objects.
This patch set implement the ASO flow meter for mlx5 driver.
MLX5 PMD driver will be responsible for ASO flow meter manage to HW.
V2: Fix compile error issue (mlx5_glue->destroy_flow_action)
V3: Fix comments.

Hi Li,
The request in previous patch was to add some documentation on the new feature
in driver documentation, plus some design documentation if needed, not just
release notes update.
But this patch become on the critical path for -rc1, since an mlx ethdev patch
depends on this patch, I want to block them for the release, instead does it
make sense the have the documentation update for the -rc2, what do you think?
Thanks,
ferruh
