> This patch adds a mechanism to utilize these advantages, by creating

> Other flow rules, requested for group n, will be created in
> e-switch table n+1.
> Jump action to e-switch group n will be created to group n+1.
> 
> Utility function mlx5_flow_group_to_table() is added to translate the
> rte_flow group value to HW table value, and is called by PMD flow
> engine on flow rule validation and creation.
