I thought it can be more useful to have library and its user updated in
same patch, gives more context. But missed rte_flow documentation ...

Is following todo list complete:
1- update rte_flow document, doc/guides/prog_guide/rte_flow.rst,
document two new item types: E_TAG & NVGRE.

2- Add testpmd sample implementation and documentation.


Hi Wei,

Would you mind working on a patch to cover above items?

Thanks,
