Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/5] net: introduce TX shaping H/W offload API

We have a plurality of shaping-related drivers API, but none flexible
enough to meet existing demand from vendors[1].

This series introduces new device APIs to configure in a flexible way
TX shaping H/W offload. The new functionalities are exposed via a newly
defined generic netlink interface and include introspection
capabilities. Some basic self-tests are included, on top of a dummy
netdevsim implementation.

The ice driver support is currently a WIP, sharing the current status
earlier since some APIs details are still under discussion.
