The data-path focused flow rule management can manage flow rules in more
optimized way than traditional one by using hints provided by
application in initialization phase.
In addition to the current hints we have in port attr, more hints could
be provided by application about its behaviour.
One example is how the application do with the same flow rule ?
A. create/destroy flow on same queue but query flow on different queue
or queue-less way (i.e, counter query)
B. All flow operations will be exactly on the same queue, by which PMD
could be in more optimized way then A because resource could be
isolated and access based on queue, without lock, for example.
This patch add flag about above situation and could be extended to cover
more situations.
