Expose raw packet pacing APIs to be used by DEVX based applications. The existing code was refactored to have a single flow with the new raw APIs. The new raw APIs considered the input of 'pp_rate_limit_context', uid, 'dedicated', upon looking for an existing entry. This raw mode enables future device specification data in the raw context without changing the existing logic and code. The ability to ask for a dedicated entry gives control for application to allocate entries according to its needs. A dedicated entry may not be used by some other process and it also enables the process spreading its resources to some different entries for use different hardware resources as part of enforcing the rate. The counter per entry was changed to be u64 to prevent any option to overflow.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
