When sending from a 10G host to a 1G host, it is easy to overrun the receiver,
leading to packet loss and traffic backing off. Similar problems occur when
a 10G host sends data to a sub-10G virtual circuit, or a 40G host sending
to a 10G host. Packet pacing could control packet injection rate and reduces
network congestion to maximize throughput & minimize network latency.

Packet pacing is a rate limiting and shaping for a QP (SQ for RAW QP), set
and change the rate is done by modifying QP. This series of patch made the
following high level changes:
 1. Report rate limit capabilities through user data. Reported capabilities
    include: The maximum and minimum rate limit in kbps supported by packet
    pacing; Bitmap showing which QP types are supported by packet pacing
    operation.
 2. Extend modify QP interface for growing attributes. Add rate limit support
    to the extended interface.
 3. Enable mlx5-based hardware to be able to update the rate limit for
    RAW QP packet.

Available in the "topic/packet_pacing" topic branch of this git repo:
