This patch introduces the generic ethdev API for the traffic manager
capability, which includes: hierarchical scheduling, traffic shaping,
congestion management, packet marking.

We already have some API for QoS. Why integrating them in ethdev?
ethdev is an interface for networking drivers.
I think the QoS has nothing to do with drivers.
If there are some operations to offload in drivers, please identify them
and let's add the operations to ethdev.

Main features:
- Exposed as ethdev plugin capability (similar to rte_flow approach)

I do not know what you call an ethdev plugin.
rte_flow is a part of the driver interface.
