Hi Andrew,
Thanks a lot for working on this.
I had sent the deprecation notice and forgot about it, apologies.
No worries. I always liked to delete some code.
I think it is my favorite in programming :-)

A more file grain flow API should be used instead of it.
Do you mean "fine-grain"?
Thanks. Fixed.
I think we can reference the rte_flow action to be used:
	RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_SAMPLE
Yes, I think is useful, added in v2.

+* 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.
Yes, added in v2.
