> In http://doc.dpdk.org/guides/nics/overview.html, table 1.1 lists all
> supported features.
> It has a single line for "Flow API" that refers to rte_flow support.
> rte_flow is composed of many items and actions that are not expressed in
> this single line.
> 
> The following new tables are suggested:
> 1. rte_flow items
> 2. rte_flow actions
> 3. rte_flow shared actions

After running git status I remembered the generated .txt files
must be added in .gitignore.

I suggest not having "shared" in above table but marking "age" and "rss"
as shared with "S" in above table.
