Hi Andrew,
Thanks a lot for working on this.
I had sent the deprecation notice and forgot about it, apologies.

Do you mean "fine-grain"?
I think we can reference the rte_flow action to be used:
	RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_SAMPLE

> --- a/doc/guides/rel_notes/release_21_11.rst
> +++ b/doc/guides/rel_notes/release_21_11.rst
> +* ethdev: Removed the port mirroring API. A more fine grain flow API may
> +  be used instead.  The structures ``rte_eth_mirror_conf`` and
> +  ``rte_eth_vlan_mirror`` and the functions ``rte_eth_mirror_rule_set``
> +  and ``rte_eth_mirror_rule_reset`` along with the associated macros
> +  ``ETH_MIRROR_*`` are removed.

Here as well we can mention the replacement RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_SAMPLE.
