> In HWS template API, the aging mechanism doesn't support shared host mode
> now. When the guest's counter is set to 0, the aging won't be initialized.
> 
> The current implementation didn't prevent the user from querying the aged
> flows on the uninitialized port. The access of invalid pointers would cause a
> crash.
> 
> With this commit, the flag of the per port aging initialization will be checked.
> This would help to get rid of the invalid accessing.
