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.

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