From: Raed Salem <ra...@mellanox.com>
The user supplies counters instance and a reference to an output
array of uint64_t.
The driver reads the hardware counters values and writes them to
the output index location in the user supplied array.
All counters values are represented as uint64_t types.
To be able to successfully read the data the counters must be
first bound to an IB object.
Downstream patches will present binding method for
flow counters.
