Hi Erlon,

This version looks good to me.  I only have a few very minor comments.
I know Ales wanted to review the patch too and, if he doesn't have any
major comments either, I hope he can fix up the small issues I found below.

With that:

Thanks,
Dumitru

Nit: to be more aligned with the order of arguments of other functions,
I'd move 'acl_ct_translation' just after 'ctrl_meter'.
