Yes, will do in V2.

Yes, sir!

Yes, will add here the relevant description, which is currently only in the cover letter.

I do not understand this comment. This is a flow action, not a flow item (that might be a packet field with an associated mask); this mtr_id is similar to queue ID/index/VF ID from other flow actions, none having any mask attached. Adrien, can you please clarify?

All of these items are a must and will get done, but do they have to be done in the same patch set?

My plan was to introduce test-pmd updates through separate patch sets after the API is accepted. I know you had these items done in the same patch set for rte_flow, but there are other APIs such as eventdev and ethdev traffic management which introduced sample app one release later.
