[PATCH 0/4] ethdev: separate metering and marking from policing

[Alexander Kozyrev]

Extend Metering and Marking support in the Flow API:
1. Add METER_COLOR item to match Color Marker set by a Meter.
2. Add the ability to set Color Marker via modify_field Flow API.
3. Add Meter API to calculate profile configuration values.
4. Add METER_MARK action to perform Meter color marking only.
Provide greater flexibility in how Metering can be used.
