  Hi, and thanks a lot for your RFC v1 comments. 

RFC v2 emphasize the intent for sharing the flow action:
* The term 'action context' was unclear and replaced with
   'shared action'.
* RFC v2 subject became 'add flow shared action API'.
* all proposed APIs renamed according the above.

The new shared action is an independent entity decoupled from any flow
while any flow can reuse such an action. Please go over the RFC
description, it was almost entirely rewritten.

@Jerin Jacob:
Thanks again for your comments, it made me admit that v1 description was
incomplete & unclear.  I hope v2 will be better at least in terms of
clarity.
@Thomas Monjalon:
rte_flow_action_ctx_modify() -> rte_flow_action_ctx_modify()

Looking forward to your responses on v2,
thanks in advance.
