Doc Text:
With this update you can set QoS maximum bandwidth limit, egress direction rules on hardware-offloaded ports in a ML2/OVS deployment. Set the policy using the normal QoS policy/rules methods. + Note that the backend uses `ip link` commands to enforce the policy instead of the normal OVS QoS engine, because the OVS `meter` action cannot be offloaded. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2002406[meter action is not offloaded].
