Our implementation is an extension to this commit 42c2eb6b1f43 ice: 
Implement devlink-rate API).

We are setting the Tx max & share rates of individual queues in a VF 
using the devlink rate API.

Here we are using DEVLINK_PORT_FLAVOUR_VIRTUAL as the attribute for the 
port to distinguish it from being eswitch.
