Actually support to this feature is added via Patch 10/11. My bad,
I added the document update in 11/11 which caused the confusion. 
Another reason is rate limit support depends on TM support in OCTEON TX2.
I also missed to update octeontx2_vec.ini and octeontx2_vf.ini file.
Can the above change be put back into Patch 10/11 ?

Thanks for other corrections.
