Not part of this patch, but shouldn't this be struct odp_cls_cos_param_t
for consistency with other typedef'd structs?

If hashing is enabled, is this field ignored? Doc should say so if yes.

Alternately, if queue is only meaningful when num_queue == 1, should this
be a union?  For example:

/** Number of queues associated with this CoS.
* Controls variant  parameter mappings needed for optional hashing. */
uint32_t num_queue;

/** Variant mappings based on num_queue value */
union {
        /** Mapping used when num_queue == 1 */
        odp_queue_t queue; /** The single queue associated with this CoS */

        /** Mapping used when num_queue > 1 */
        struct {
                odp_queue_param_t queue_param;  /** Parameters used for
queues created for this CoS */
                odp_pktin_hash_proto_t hash_proto; /** How packets are
hashed into queues for this CoS */
        };
};

Petri suggested that this be named odp_cls_hash_result() or
odp_cls_dest_queue() since this is a cls API, not a queue API. I agree and
think odp_cls_hash_result() is clearer.

Petri suggested this be named odp_cls_num_cos_queues() since odp_cls_... is
the standard prefix for Classifier APIs. Since this is an extension of the
existing odp_cos_queue() API, this name seems OK to me.

Petri pointed out that the _multi() suffix is reserved for actions that
have multiple inputs, so odp_cos_queues() would be better here.
odp_cls_cos_queues() is also OK, but since this is in the existing
odp_cos_queue() "family", odp_cos_queues() seems fine here.

BTW, the only inconsistency we have in the current CLS API names is in CoS
creation. We have the API odp_cls_cos_create() but odp_cos_destroy().
Either we should have all ODP Classifier APIs use the odp_cls_ prefix, or
if we allow both odp_cls and odp_cos (since cos = class of service, hence
classifier is implicit in that abbreviation) then perhaps we should
deprecate odp_cls_cos_create() and have odp_cos_create() instead.

BTW, we'll also need extensions to the classifier validation test suite to
cover these new APIs as well as User Guide updates. These can be separate
patches if desired.

This inconsistency can be taken as a separate patch once this gets merged.

There was an use-case where the application would like to know the queue in
which a particular flow will be hashed onto in advance, so as to initialise
the queue context parameters and one of the possible solution was to send a
packet with the flow parameters to this function and it will return the
queue handle into which this particular packet will be delivered.
