> This patch introduces new ethdev generic API for Traffic Metering and
> Policing (MTR), which is yet another standard RX offload for Ethernet
> devices.
> 
> Similar to rte_flow and rte_tm APIs, the configuration of MTR objects is
> done in their own namespace (rte_mtr) within the librte_ether library.
> 
> Main features:
> 1. Traffic metering: determine the color for the current packet (green,
>    yellow, red) based on history maintained by the MTR object. Supported
>    algorithms: srTCM (RFC 2697), trTCM (RFC 2698 and RFC 4115).
> 2. Policing (per meter output color actions): re-color the packet (keep
>    or change the meter output color) or drop the packet.
> 3. Statistics
> 4. Capability API
