Currently a matcher can only be created and attached to a NIC RX flow table. Extend it to allow it on NIC TX flow tables as well. In order to achieve that, we: 1) Expose a new attribute: MLX5_IB_ATTR_FLOW_MATCHER_FLOW_FLAGS. enum ib_flow_flags is used as valid flags. Only IB_FLOW_ATTR_FLAGS_EGRESS is supported. 2) Remove the requirement to have a DEVX or QP destination when creating a flow. A flow added to NIC TX flow table will forward the packet outside of the vport (Wire or E-Switch in the SR-iOV case).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
