>
>It may be useful for hardware flow table support for counters to be exposed
>via the flow API. One possible use case of this is for Open vSwitch to use
>the flow API in conjunction with its existing datapath flow management
>scheme which in a nutshell treats the datapath as a cache that times out
>idle entries.
>
>This patch exposes optionally exposes three counters:
>- Number of packets that have matched a flow
>- Number of bytes of packets that have matched a flow
>- The time in ms when the flow was last hit
>
>Inspired by the flow counters present in Open Flow.

The flow byte_count, packet_count, and last_used fields are defined as __u64 and related netlink attributes are of type NLA_U64 but nla_put_u32() is used to add them to the netlink msg.
