The host shaper is quite private to Nvidia's BlueField 2 NIC. The NIC is inserted
In a server which we call it host-system, and the NIC has an embedded Arm-system
Which does the forwarding.
The traffic flows from host-system to wire like this:
Host-system generates traffic, send it to Arm-system, Arm sends it to physical/wire port.
So the RX happens between host-system and Arm-system, and the traffic is host to wire.
The shaper also works in a special way: you configure it on Arm-system, but it takes effect
On host-sysmem's TX side.

The PMD thread drains the Rx queue, the PMD receiving as normal, as the PMD
Implementation uses rte interrupt thread to handle LWM event.
