Hardware drop queues are supported since this version, before that, the flow
drop was handled by software queues not polled.

Currently the user has to download and install it to have a working PMD, the
NIC documentation provides the related information on where to get this
Mellanox OFED from their website.  So the user knows which version of MLNX
OFED is installed in his system.
