Series LGTM, 

couple of things:

1) Paul should have removed Issue and change-Id tags
I can do this myself when i apply those to my trees.

2) patches #1..#6 can perfectly go mlx5-next,
already tried and i had to resolve some trivial conflicts, but all
good.

3) this patch needs to be on top of net-next, due to dependency with 
TC_SETUP_FT, I will resubmit it through my normal pull request
procedure after applying all other patches in this series to mlx5-next
shared branch. 

All patches will land in net-next in couple of days, i guess there is
no rush to have them there immediately ? 

Thanks,
saeed.
