Series [1] requires that certain experimental flow features in DPDK be promoted to stable. Also, reviewers request that some drivers be adjusted to support flow action REPRESENTED_PORT. This series takes care of that and also proceeds to remove deprecated items / actions.
Nevertheless, actions PF and VF are not removed for now since there are PMDs which offer combined use of such actions with action QUEUE in flow rules without attribute "transfer". Such problems will have to be addressed either in v2 or in terms of a separate patch series. The same goes for item / action PORT_ID. Will address it separately.
